| - | To be a bit more formal, a gramar is a set of production rules for source and other files in a component implementation adhering to a specific software architecture. Each gramar has an associated schema that models the allowed points of variability between instances of that software architecture. Each production describes how to generate a file from those points of variability and is often applied multiple times, depending on the cardinality of the model. A grammar does not describe the meaning of the generated files nor what can be done with them. It only captures and generates their content. | + | To be a bit more formal, a gramar is a set of production rules for source and other files in a component implementation adhering to a specific software architecture.
