Abstract: Abstract As a continuation of our earlier work, in this paper we focus on the suitability of multi-level modeling for the creation and use of reference models. Specifically, we first discuss known challenges of reference modeling. Then, using the UML (for conventional meta modeling) and the FMMLx (for multi-level modeling) as language architectures of choice, we show how conventional meta modeling contributes to challenges of reference modeling, and how the added flexibility and expressiveness of multi-level modeling can address these. We use an excerpt of NISTIR 7628, a well-established reference model for smart grid cyber security, as an illustrative scenario.
