Description / Abstract:
The CDIF Family of Standards is primarily designed to be used as a description of a mechanism for transferring information between CASE tools It facilitates a successful transfer when the authors of the importing and exporting tools have nothing in common except an agreement to conform to CDT. The language that is defined for the Transfer Format also has applicability as a general language for Import/Export from repositories. The CDT Integrated Meta-model defined for CASE also has applicability as the basis of standard definitions for use in repositories.
The standards that form the complete family of CDT Standards are documented in EJA/IS-I06 CDIF - CASE Data Interchange Format - Overview. These standards cover the overall framework, the transfer format and the CDIF Integrated Meta-model
