A Common Data Schema for Tool Integration

  • Conference paper
CAD ’92

Part of the book series: Informatik aktuell ((INFORMAT))

Abstract

An open, extensible, EDIF-compatible administrative data schema based on general system engineering requirements is presented. Several system engineering tools, particularly hardware design tools, are integrated into the same framework using this schema. The use of this Common Data Schema implemented by using services of the framework’s object management system allows all tools to share the administrative data covered by this schema. In addition to EDIF, a configuration management subschema is provided.
