16、al 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 particular fields o
17、f 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 established a joint
18、 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 committee
19、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 15474 may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and
20、IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 15474-1 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 7, Software and system engineering.

22、his standard will 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 informati
23、on between tools. This document, ISO/IEC 15474-1:2002, Information technology CDIF framework Part 1: Overview, describes the architecture of the CDIF family of standards and provides an overview to all the current standards that form the CDIF family of standards. The document ISO/IEC 15474-2:2002, I
24、nformation technology CDIF framework Part 2: Modelling and extensibility, explains the scope, and modelling approach in CDIF. It also defines the CDIF meta-metamodel and extensibility mechanism of CDIF. This document and the Framework for Modelling and Extensibility should be read first when initial
25、ly exploring CDIF. This standard has been developed with the wide support and participation of vendors, users, 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 docu
26、ment is organized into the following Clauses: Clause 1 to 5 are prescribed ISO/IEC Clauses Clause 6: CDIF Overview and architecture This Clause describes the scope, purpose, architecture, and fundamental concepts of CDIF. This Clause also describes the major components of the CDIF architecture: the
27、framework, the transfer format, and the semantic metamodel. Clause 7: CDIF Family of standards overview This Clause describes the components of the CDIF semantic metamodel. These components are presented as a series of subject areas that serve to address key areas of the Systems Development Life Cyc

29、iption 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 CDIF family of standards includes a semantic metamodel and a trans
30、fer 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 repos
31、itories. The CDIF semantic metamodel also has applicability as the basis of standard definitions for use in repositories. 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 stan
32、dards. Figure 1 CDIF family of standards This document introduces the CDIF family of standards and defines the terms common to the CDIF family of standards.

45、port process. Import process The process of incorporating the content of a transfer file into a target environment. Importer The agent of the import process. Clear text file encoding A class of techniques for representing data based on first defining a human readable representation using some specif
46、ic character repertoire and then defining an encoding for that repertoire. 4.2 For this standard For the purpose of this part of ISO/IEC 15474 and of all the standards in the CDIF family of standards (ISO/IEC 15474, 15475, 15476) the following definitions apply: Arity The arity (of a relationship) i
47、s the number of roles that participate in a relationship. A binary relationship has an arity of two. An n-ary relationship has an arity of n. (n2) sometimes known as the “degree“ of a relationship. Associative entity An entity used to represent a relationship between other entities. An associative e
48、ntity is used when a relationship does not otherwise provide sufficient mechanisms. Attribute A single-valued characteristic of an entity or relationship. Attributed relationship A relationship that has attributes. Cardinality Describes the constraint on the number of entity instances that are relat
49、ed to the subject entity through a relationship. Cardinality is represented for each entity participating in a relationship by indicating the minimum and maximum number of its instances that may be associated with one particular instance of the related entity.
