The CDIF family of standards is primarily designed to be used as a description of a mechanism for transferring information between modelling 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 CDIF.<\/p>\n
The CDIF family of standards includes a semantic metamodel and a transfer format definition. It also includes the specification of a meta-metamodel and associated rules that define a framework for the semantic metamodel and the transfer format. The language that is defined for the transfer format also has applicability as a general language for Import\/Export for repositories. The CDIF semantic metamodel also has applicability as the basis of standard definitions for use in repositories.<\/p>\n
The standards that form the complete family of CDIF Standards are documented in ISO\/IEC 15474-1:2002, Information technology \u2014 CDIF framework \u2014 Part 1: Overview.<\/i> These standards cover the overall framework, the transfer format and the CDIF semantic metamodel.<\/p>\n

The diagram in Figure 1 depicts the various standards that comprise the CDIF family of standards. The shaded box depicts this Standard and its position in the CDIF family of standards.<\/p>\n
This document (ISO\/IEC 15474-2:2002, Information technology \u2014 CDIF framework \u2014 Part 2: Modelling and<\/i> extensibility)<\/i> includes the definition of the CDIF meta-metamodel and describes the rules and notations used throughout the CDIF family of standards. The rules for extending the CDIF semantic metamodel are also defined.<\/p>\n
