The CDIF Family of StandardDetails 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 CDIF. The language that is defined for the Transfer Format also has applicability as a general language for Import/Export from repositories. The CDIF Integrated Meta-model defined for CASE also has applicability as the basis of standard definitions for use in repositories.The StandardDetails that form the complete family of CDIF StandardDetails are documented in EIA/IS-106 CDIF - CASE Data Interchange Format - Overview. These StandardDetails cover the overall framework, the transfer format and the CDIF Integrated Meta-model.The diagram in Figure 1 depicts the various StandardDetails that comprise the CDIF Family of StandardDetails. The shaded box depicts this Standard and its position in the CDIF Family of StandardDetails.This standard, EIA/IS-114 CDIF - Integrated Meta-model - Data Modeling Subject Area, defines the portion of the CDIF Integrated Meta-model that supports general Data Modeling. This includes Entity-Relationship-Attribute Modeling as well as Logical Database Design.Cross Reference:
