      The paper uses the category-theoretic form of abstract model theory known as ``institution theory'' for providing foundations for the Z formal specification language. In particular this applies to the structuring mechanism of Z. Morever, the proposed foundations allow for heterogenous combinations of Z with other specification formalisms; this is illustrated with the combination of Z and CSP.
