The CDIF Foundation Subject Area

The CDIF Foundation Subject Area contains only three concepts. These three concepts (RootObject, RootEntity, and RootEntity.IsRelatedTo.RootEntity) are abstract and serve as the very root of the inheritance hierarchy of the CDIF Integrated Meta-model and all extensions.

The use of the Foundation Subject Area is therefore required for any CDIF Transfer.
