We describe two practical use cases of the metamodel, being a quantitative assessment of the entities of 30 models in ER/EER, UML, and ORM/ORM2, and a qualitative evaluation of inter-model assertions.
A related assertion-based challenge to truth-relativism emerges by appeal to Stalnaker's (1978) belief transfer model of assertion (cf. 2011).
The judge in Ibiza who first heard the case closed it in July 2010 for lack of evidence, but it was reopened last year by the appeals court in Palma de Mallorca, based on the model's assertion that she was drugged at an Ibiza nightclub before being taken to the yacht and raped there.
Identity claims, however, do not seem to fit this simple model of assertion.
See Egan (2007) for an attempt to reconcile truth-relativism (about epistemic modals) with Stalnaker's belief-transfer model of assertion.
The model's assertion about mutation rates implies six different equalities, corresponding to the six possible pairs among the four codons.
In the model, any assertions about propositions can be created with simple language [11].
In asserting 'It's cold today', for instance, I may be trying to get you to rule out possibilities in which today's temperature in Melbourne is over 10° C. We can model what my assertion conveys, then, as a function that maps possible worlds in which today's temperature is under 10° C to True and all other worlds to False.
Presentation of such a model lends the assertion that a key to implementation of successful PD programs must begin with an attempt to understand participants' prior experience and perceptions about the topic of evolution and its implementation in the biology classroom.
In ViVA, a variance structure model is an assertion M : Y∼ X∣ G:(S) controlling variables G in population S, representing variance M among the variables Y and X.
