12、International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particul

13、ar fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have establis

14、hed a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical

15、 committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO/IEC 15476 may be the subject of patent right

16、s. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 15476-1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 7, Software and system engineering. ISO/IEC 15476 consists of the following parts, under the ge

18、ll assist the vendors and users of modelling tools and meta-data repositories in developing mechanisms for interchanging information. This standard specifies an element of a family of related standards. When used together, these standards specify a mechanism for transferring information between tool

19、s. ISO/IEC 15474-1:2002, Information technology CDIF framework Part 1: Overview, and ISO/IEC 15474-2:2002, Information technology CDIF framework Part 2: Modelling and extensibility, should be read first when initially exploring CDIF. The first explains the overall CDIF architecture and how the famil

20、y of standards fits together. The second explains the scope, and modelling approach in CDIF. The CDIF meta- metamodel and extensibility mechanism are also defined in that document. This standard explains the Foundation subject area of the CDIF semantic metamodel, which is used to ensure that the inf

21、ormation held by tools communicating using CDIF express the information they pass with an agreed meaning. This subject area contains the basic objects on which all others, including extensions, must be based. This standard has been developed with the wide support and participation of vendors, users,

22、 academia and government involved in or familiar with the CASE industry, its products and the general requirements associated with interchanging information between these products. This document is organized into the following Clauses: Clauses 1 to 5 are prescribed ISO/IEC Clauses Clause 6: Subject

23、area overview This Clause gives an overview of the coverage of this subject area. Clause 7: Subject area summary This Clause gives an overview of the content of this subject area. Clause 8: Subject area definition This Clause gives the formal specification of all the objects defined in the subject a

24、rea, and the formal reference to those used, but not defined in the subject area.

25、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. The language that is defined for the tra

26、nsfer format also has applicability as a general language for import/export from repositories. The CDIF semantic metamodel defined for CASE also has applicability as the basis of standard definitions for use in repositories. The standards which form the complete family of CDIF standards are document

27、ed in ISO/IEC 15474-1:2002, Information technology CDIF framework Part 1: Overview. These standards cover the overall framework, the transfer format and the CDIF semantic metamodel. 15476 CDIF semantic metamodel 15474 CDIF framework Part 1 : Overview Part 2 : Modelling and extensibility Part 1 : Fou

30、e Foundation subject area of the CDIF semantic metamodel. This subject area contains the basic objects on which all other objects, including those defined using extensibility, must be based. This document is intended to be used by anyone wishing to understand and/or use CDIF. This document provides

31、a definition of a single subject area of the CDIF semantic metamodel. It is suitable for: Those evaluating CDIF, Those who wish to understand the principles and concepts of a CDIF transfer, and Those developing importers and exporters. The document, ISO/IEC 15474-1:2002, Information technology CDIF

32、framework Part 1: Overview, and the framework document ISO/IEC 15474-2:2002, Information technology CDIF framework Part 2: Modelling and extensibility, should be read first when initially exploring CDIF and before attempting to read other documents in the CDIF family of standards. While there are no

33、 specific prerequisites for reading this document, it will be helpful for the reader to have familiarity with the following: Entity-Relationship-Attribute modelling; Modelling (CASE) tools; Information repositories; Data dictionaries; Multiple meta-layer modelling. 2 Conformance A product is fully s

34、tandards conformant to a CDIF subject area standard if and only if it is input-conformant, output- conformant and round-trip conformant to each and every MetaEntity, MetaRelationship, MetaAttribute, and AttributableMetaObject which is defined and/or used in that standard, and it is also CDIF archite

35、cture conformant. A product may be partially input-conformant, and/or partially output-conformant, and/or partially round-trip conformant to a CDIF subject area standard. 2.1 Input conformance Input conformance for a specific MetaEntity, MetaRelationship, MetaAttribute, or AttributableMetaObject (sh

36、ort: CollectableMetaObject) is determined by applying the following test: A set of meta-data containing all meanings and structures standardized by a CDIF subject area is imported by the product under test. Then the meta-data which has arrived in the product is examined. The following options exist

37、for the relation between the input (CDIF) meta-data and the imported (product) meta-data: For a specific CollectableMetaObject: 1 The product is input conformant if each instance of the specific CollectableMetaObject has arrived in the product without change of meaning or structure. If the Collectab

38、leMetaObject is a meta-entity or meta-relationship, its structural relationships to other CollectableMetaObjects have been preserved. If the CollectableMetaObject is a meta-attribute, the value of the meta-attribute has been preserved. 2 The product is input morphing conformant if each instance of t

39、he specific CollectableMetaObject has arrived in the product, but with some changes in meaning or structure. If the CollectableMetaObject is a meta-attribute, the value(s) for some instances of the meta-attribute have changed. 3 The product is not input conformant for that CollectableMetaObject if n

40、either of the previous tests is satisfied. BSISO/IEC154761:20022IS/OIE67451 C-1:002(2)E I SO/IE2002 C All irthgs serervde 32.2 Output conformance Output conformance for a specific CollectableMetaObject is determined by applying the following test: For the product being tested, a set of meta-data tha

41、t includes all possible meanings and structures representable in that product is exported. Then the meta-data that has been exported is examined. The following options exist for the relation between the products meta-data and the exported (CDIF) meta-data: For a specific CollectableMetaObject: 1 The

42、 product is output conformant if all of the meaning and structure for the specific CollectableMetaObject has been represented as meta-data in the product and has been exported as one or more instances of that CollectableMetaObject. If the CollectableMetaObject is a meta-attribute, the correct value

43、of the meta-attribute has been exported. 2 The product is output morphing conformant if each instance of meta-data in the product that has the same meaning and structure as the CollectableMetaObject has been exported, but some instances have been exported as a different CollectableMetaObject or some

44、 of the meaning and structure has been changed. 3 If the product does not represent the meaning and structure associated with the CollectableMetaObject, output conformance for that CollectableMetaObject is not applicable to the product. 4 In all other cases, the product is not output conformant for

45、that CollectableMetaObject. 2.3 Round-trip conformance Round-trip conformance for a specific CollectableMetaObject is determined by applying the following test: A set of meta-data containing all meanings and structures standardized by a CDIF subject area is imported by the product under test. Then t

46、he meta-data is exported again. The following options exist for the relation between the input meta-data and the output meta-data: For a specific CollectableMetaObject: 1 The product is round-trip conformant if the meaning and structure of each instance of the CollectableMetaObject is preserved with

47、out changes during the round-trip. For a vendor to claim round-trip conformance, it is also necessary for the tool to be able to perform create, read, update, and delete operations on the imported (product) meta-data corresponding to the instances of the CollectableMetaObject. 2 The product is round

48、-trip morphing conformant if each instance of the input CollectableMetaObject is preserved, but with some changes in meaning and/or structure. If the CollectableMetaObject is a meta-entity or meta- relationship, some of its instances structural relationships to other CollectableMetaObjects have chan

49、ged, or some instances have been transformed into other CollectableMetaObjects, or instances of other CollectableMetaObjects have been transformed into instances of the CollectableMetaObject. If the CollectableMetaObject is a meta-attribute, the values of some instances of the meta-attribute have changed or the domain of the meta-attribute has changed. 3 In all other cases, the product
