The CDIF family of standards is primarily designed to be used as a description of a mechanism for transferring<\/p>\n
information between modelling tools. It facilitates a successful transfer when the authors of the importing and<\/p>\n
exporting tools have nothing in common except an agreement to conform to CDIF.<\/p>\n
The CDIF family of standards includes a semantic metamodel and a transfer format definition. It also includes the<\/p>\n
specification of a meta-metamodel and associated rules that define a framework for the semantic metamodel and<\/p>\n
the transfer format. The language that is defined for the transfer format also has applicability as a general language<\/p>\n
for Import\/Export for repositories. The CDIF semantic metamodel also has applicability as the basis of standard<\/p>\n
definitions for use in repositories.<\/p>\n
The diagram in Figure 1 depicts the various standards that comprise the CDIF family of standards. The shaded box<\/p>\n
depicts this Standard and its position in the CDIF family of standards.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This document introduces the CDIF family of standards and defines the terms common to the CDIF family of<\/p>\n
standards.<\/p>\n
This document is intended to be used by anyone wishing to understand and\/or use CDIF. This document provides<\/p>\n
an introduction to the entire CDIF family of standards. It is suitable for:<\/p>\n
? Those evaluating CDIF,<\/p>\n
? Those who wish to understand the principles and concepts of a CDIF transfer, and<\/p>\n
? Those developing importers and exporters.<\/p>\n
