Abstract
In the area of electronic design, EDIF (Electronic Design Interchange Format) is a well accepted standard for design exchange between different CAD systems. Information Modelling has been widely used by the EDIF community to describe the design information carried by an EDIF file. The EDIF Version 3 0 0 Information Model [1] represents formally the semantics of EDIF Version 3 0 0 and is the basis from which the EDIF Version 3 0 0 syntax [2] has been derived. In addition, the model provides the basis for the future extension of EDIE. Currently, work is in hand to extend EDIF into other domains such as PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and Test. The relevant EDIF Technical Sub-Committees were therefore asked to develop their domain conceptual models as a basis for integration into the core EDIF model in the future. Their domain conceptual models specify a set of requirements which should be met by future versions of EDT. At present, the modelling activity is focused on creating an integrated model between the EDIF Version 3 0 0 Information Model and the PCB Conceptual Model [3] developed by the EDIF PCB Technical Sub-Committee.
