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. The language that is defined for<\/p>\n
the transfer format also has applicability as a general language for import\/export from repositories. The CDIF<\/p>\n
semantic metamodel defined for CASE also has applicability as the basis of standard definitions for use in<\/p>\n
repositories.<\/p>\n
The standards which form the complete family of CDIF standards are documented in ISO\/IEC 15474-1:2002,<\/p>\n
Information technology \u2014 CDIF framework \u2014 Part 1: Overview. <\/i>These standards cover the overall framework, the<\/p>\n
transfer format and the CDIF semantic metamodel.<\/p>\n<\/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
This standard defines the Foundation subject area of the CDIF semantic metamodel. This subject area contains the<\/p>\n
basic objects on which all other objects, including those defined using extensibility, must be based.<\/p>\n
This document is intended to be used by anyone wishing to understand and\/or use CDIF. This document provides<\/p>\n
a definition of a single subject area of the CDIF semantic metamodel. 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
The document, ISO\/IEC 15474-1:2002, Information technology \u2014 CDIF framework \u2014 Part 1: Overview<\/i>, and the<\/p>\n
framework document ISO\/IEC 15474-2:2002, Information technology \u2014 CDIF framework \u2014 Part 2: Modelling and<\/i><\/p>\n
extensibility<\/i>, should be read first when initially exploring CDIF and before attempting to read other documents in the<\/p>\n
CDIF family of standards.<\/p>\n
While there are no specific prerequisites for reading this document, it will be helpful for the reader to have familiarity<\/p>\n
