GXL and MOF: a Comparison of XML Applications for Information Interchange

Marcus Alanen, Torbjörn Lundkvist, Ivan Porres, GXL and MOF: a Comparison of XML Applications for Information Interchange. In: Ludwik Kuzniarz Jyrki Nummenmaa Zheying Zhang Kai Koskimies (Ed.), Proceedings of the NWUML'2005: The 3rd Nordic Workshop on UML and Software Modeling, 123-136, 2005.

Abstract:

In this paper, we compare the Graph eXchange Language (GXL) and the
Meta Object Facility (MOF). GXL and MOF are approaches for information
interchange, specifically for the interchange of artifacts created
during software development. Although there are several traits in
common, some differences can also be found, in particular the more
static structure of MOF as compared with the more dynamic nature of
GXL. We discuss the benefits and drawbacks of these differences.
Additionally we discuss common issues and possible future extensions.
