Harmonization of CDIF with Standards Bodies

As the old joke goes, "we don't need more standards, we need more integrated standardsŠ"
Standards integration has always been a very high priority for ongoing CDIF work.

At this point, CDIF has several formal and informal liaisons with other standards bodies:

• Object Management Group.
  CDIF has a liaison with the OMG whose goal it is to define one integrated meta-model for object analysis and design.
  
• The UML Partners
  CDIF has been cooperating with the partners defining the Unified Modelling Language for Object-oriented Systems Development to define one integrated meta-model for object analysis and design.
  
• ECMA TC33: PCTE (Portable Common Tool Environment):
  PCTE uses the CDIF Integrated Meta-model as a repository schema for software engineering data
  
• ISO IRDS (Information Resource Dictionary System):
  IRDS uses the CDIF Integrated Meta-model as a repository schema for software engineering data
  
• ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7/WG11 (Software Engineering Data Definition and Representation):
  SC7/WG11 standardizes CDIF on an international level and is thus often called "ISO/CDIF".
  
• ANSI X3L8 (Data Representation)
  
• ANSI X3H4 (Open Systems Repository)
  
• IEEE P1175 (Task Force on Professional Computing Tools)
