Derived meta-metamodels include [[Entity-relationship model|Entity Relationship Diagrams]], [[Formal languages]], [[Extended Backus-Naur form]] (EBNF), [[Ontology language (computer science)|Ontology languages]], [[XML Schema]], and [[Meta-Object Facility]] (MOF). The strengths of these languages tend to be in the familiarity and standardization of the original language.

The ethos of ___domain-specific modeling favors the creation of a new language for a specific task, and so there are unsurprisingly new languages designed as meta-metamodels. The most widely- used family of such languages is that of OPRR,<ref name="oprrWelke">R.J. Welke. The CASE Repository: More than another database application. In W.W. Cotterman and J.A.
