The increasing number of the modeled functionalities results in complex models that need more and more textual constraints to express the hidden restrictions applied to the systems. During the metamodel development, rebuilding all the constraints is unnecessary when only a few changes have been applied due to the iterative, incremental manner of modifications. In this paper, we present a family of algorithms that handles the changes in constraints incrementally on the expression level; thus, the required rebuilds are kept to a minimum. Incremental variable reference resolving and type checking are performed as a part of the incremental semantic analysis. Balancing between the incremental and standard compilation is also considered, heuristics are given to select the faster method of compilation at each iteration. With the achieved results the duration of metamodel development can be decreased; thus, the efficiency of the environment is improved.
