This paper aims to contribute to the area of conceptual model quality assessment and improvement. We present a preliminary modelling process-oriented ‘Quality of Modelling’ framework (QoMo), mainly based on the estab-lished SEQUAL framework for quality of models. QoMo is based on knowl-edge state transitions, cost of the activities bringing such transitions about, and a goal structure for activities-for-modelling. Such goals are directly linked to concepts of SEQUAL. We discuss how goals for modelling can be linked to a rule-based way of describing processes for modelling. Such process descrip-tions hinge on strategy descriptions, which may be used descriptively (for studying/analysing real instances of processes) as well as prescriptively (for the guiding of modelling processes). Descriptive utility of the framework is critical for the quality/evaluation angle on processes-for-modelling, and reflects the main intended contribution of this paper.
