Meta-process modeling focuses on and supports the process of constructing [[process model]]s. Its main concern is to improve process models and to make them evolve, which in turn, will support the development of systems.<ref name="Rolland 1998">{{cite book | chapter=A Comprehensive View of Process Engineering | title=Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering table of contents | pages =1–24 | year= 1998 |isbn=978-3-540-64556-6 | author= Colette Rolland

A process meta-model is a [[Metamodeling|meta model]], "a description at the type level of a process model. A process model is, thus, an instantiation of a process meta-model. [..] A meta-model can be instantiated several times in order to define various process models. A process meta-model is at the meta-type level with respect to a process."<ref name="Rolland 1998" />
