    I've recenty started to make a difference between domains and
    sub-domains.<br class="">
    Domains, like "architecture", "software" or "medicine" are typically
    too<br class="">
    large to have just "a pattern language". They have thousands of
    patterns<br class="">
    and dozens or hundreds of pattern languages.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Pattern languages published are for "sub-domains" or concrete design
    targets, <br class="">
    maybe typically 10-200 patterns in size. Something a person can
    handle.<br class="">
    e. g. "patterns for building schools" (sub-domain of architecture)<br class="">
    e. g. "patterns for cloud computing" (sub-domain of software)<br class="">
    e. g. "patterns for large scale desaster management" (sub-domain of
    medicine)<br class="">
    <br class="">
    In that sense I would even argue that Alexander's "A Pattern
    Language"<br class="">
    is not a pattern language book, because it contains parts of various
    PLs<br class="">
    "patterns for regional development" <br class="">
    "patterns for urban development"<br class="">
    "patterns for buildings" <br class="">
    "patterns for interiour design"<br class="">
    but each is not complete enough to be used as a practical design
    repertoire.<br class="">
    This might explain a part of its lack of success in architecture.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Therefore I consider APL as a "pattern showcase book" and suggest<br class="">
    that architect should go about finding and describing the hundreds
    of<br class="">
    pattern languages that probably exist in architecture.<br class="">

                  So, this posting tries to clarify our terminologies, <br class="">
                  maybe as a step to unify them. <br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  What you name meta-patterns is to me "patterns of
                  pattern research".<br class="">
                  I see a different design target, e. g. a PROJECT
                  PATTERN DISSERTATION.<br class="">
                  There are different patterns used, but I see no
                  serious difference in the <br class="">
                  quality of patterns or methodology that would justify
                  a new concept.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  For example, there is a PATTERN REPOSITORY (as a dirty
                  research workshop,<br class="">
                  containing patterns and pattern candidates, mature and
                  not, and all kinds <br class="">
                  of background information; as a basis for
                  collaboration and supporting  <br class="">
                  the creattion of many different pattern products). <br class="">
                  I assume PATTERN REPOSITORY is a meta-pattern in your
                  sense.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Corresponding is the PATTERN PRODUCT, a meta-pattern
                  in my sense.<br class="">
                  This is an abstract categorial construction.<br class="">
                  It has has real patterns as instances:<br class="">
                  e. g. PATTERN LANGUAGE BOOK<br class="">
                  e. g. PLOP PATTERN PAPER<br class="">
                  e. g. PATTERN CARD STACK<br class="">
                  ...<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Meta-pattern is a pattern abstraction, <br class="">
                  where the problem-solution-relationship is lost. <br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  For example, <br class="">
                    RAILROAD STATION<br class="">
                    SCHOOL BUILDING <br class="">
                  are clear problem-solution-patterns. <br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  If we abstract from these concrete patterns, and talk
                  about BUILDING<br class="">
                  as a pattern (which shouldn't this be possible?), the
                  problems are lost. <br class="">
                  Although we may safely assume that each BUILDING
                  solves<br class="">
                  a problem, we can't name it, and can't reason about
                  it. <br class="">
                  Therefore, BUILDING is not a real pattern, it is
                  something different !!! <br class="">
                  Therefore, currently I talk about BULDING as a
                  meta-pattern,<br class="">
                  lacking a better word.<br class="">
                  <br class="">
                  Often the discussions in communities seems move to
                  this "meta"-level<br class="">
                  and loose contact to real implementation issues. And
                  one has<br class="">
                  to try to bring it down to the concrete level to find
                  solutions.<br class="">

                    Douglas Schuler<br class="">
                    Aldo de Moor<br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    In the 2014 PURPLSOC workshop Schuler presented
                    eleven “seeds” as challenges that must be addressed
                    if pattern languages are to effectively promote
                    social change. Here we focus on two
                    seeds: meta-patterns and methodology. Meta pattern
                    languages are pattern language whose domain is
                    pattern languages. In theory this pattern language
                    could be used to help design workshops and games,
                    construct sub-languages using existing and new
                    patterns, and manage ongoing
                    pattern-based projects. Existing pattern languages
                    capture essential lessons and linkages between those
                    patterns. However, those patterns are somewhat
                    idealized and "frozen." To use them in actual
                    situations, stakeholders must select the right
                    patterns, ensure their suitability and customize
                    them, and develop and execute a plan. In practice,
                    such appropriation leading to effective use does not
                    happen by itself: stakeholders need additional
                    guidance. We identified candidate meta-patterns
                    themes that include all aspects of possible pattern
                    use life-cycles, including pattern creation,
                    evaluation, planning, problem-mapping, project
                    generation, etc. In the context of teaching
                    a college program using the Liberating
                    Voices pattern language we gathered information at
                    various stages of 10 quarter-long group projects,
                    including what types of projects they are proposing,
                    which patterns they selected for use in the project,
                    and how they used the patterns — and why. We believe
                    that a closer look at how patterns are used (in the
                    fullest sense) will help identify meta-patterns and
                    how these meta-patterns are used together will help
                    identify methodologies and other approaches to more
                    effective pattern use.</div>
