| Deutsch/German, but non-German readers may
still benefit greatly from this book (by using it as an excellent source
for various EIA/CDIF-references not available elsewhere),

Possible benefits for English readers (and others too)
For non-German speakers parts of the book may still proof to be very useful as
a reference to standardized EIA/CDIF-definitions.
- There is a short German-English and English-German dictionary in the book
which helps to translate the used terminology in either direction.
-
The entire "EIA/CDIF-Integrated Meta-Model"
(p. 267-339) is created and published the first time with this book. Every standardized EIA/CDIF
concept-definition (total of 123 meta-objects per June 1998) is given in the
most stringent briefness possible (c.f. excerpts for an example).
-
Unique statistics over all of the EIA/CDIF
standardized Meta-models
(p. 340-352).
-
A unique cross-reference table (p. 396-404) listing
all meta-objects ordered ascendingly by the
surrogate value of the meta-meta-attribute "CDIFMetaIdentifer". If the meta-object is a
meta-attribute, then the "AttributableMetaObject" it belongs to is
listed too.
Every meta-object is listed with the EIA/CDIF surrogate value of
the meta-meta-attribute "CDIFMetaIdentifer"!
-
A unique cross-reference table (p. 405-413) listing
of all meta-objects ordered ascendingly by
the value of the meta-meta-attribute "Name". If the
meta-object is a meta-attribute, then the "AttributableMetaObject" it
belongs to is listed too.
Every meta-object is listed with the EIA/CDIF surrogate value of
the meta-meta-attribute "CDIFMetaIdentifer"!
-
A unique cross-reference table (p. 415-422) listing
of all "AttributableMetaObjects"
ordered ascendingly by their fully qualified name.
For every AttributableMetaObject the semantic Meta-model it is defined in and
referred to is listed as well as their meta-attributes.
Every meta-object is listed with the EIA/CDIF surrogate value of
the meta-meta-attribute "CDIFMetaIdentifer"!
-
SQL 92-specifications (p.
108-123) for mapping the EIA/CDIF Meta-meta-model to relational
databases and a fully documented example for implementing
(p. 424-448) it in the Oracle
RDBMS (including e.g. definitions and PL*SQL-code for creating
tables,
views,
triggers,
stored procedure
).
-
Object Rexx-specifications
(p. 126-127) for mapping the EIA/CDIF
Meta-meta-model to this fascinating and efficient (though easy to learn and
use) IBM-developed OO-language.
The documented Object Rexx implementations (p. 460-478,
483-492) allow for transferring EIA/CDIF-compliant Meta-model data from
the author-devised "CTI"-text-based format into any relational database
management system which is supported by the Rexx-function package
"RexxSQL".
[In this case it is the Oracle RDBMS.]
-
BNF-definitions (p.
479-482) for a simplified text-based interchange format ("CTI") for exchanging EIA/CDIF compliant meta-models only.
-
The results of analyzing all standardized EIA/CDIF Meta-models are
given in form of tables (e.g. list of meta-objects with defined
meta-attributes, listing of mandatory meta-relationships, hinting on
meta-entities which must participate in mandatory meta-relationships, statistics
on the found meta-objects, etc.), so it is not necessary to
understand the German text in order to grasp the results. (This is also given for the "EIA/CDIF Integrated Meta-model"
as if it was a standardized meta-model on its own.)
- EIA/CDIF Meta-model "Foundation":
(p. 158-165, 167, 169-170)
- EIA/CDIF Meta-model "Common":
(p. 179-212, 214, 218-223)
- EIA/CDIF Meta-model "Data Flow Modeling":
(p. 230, 235-236, 240)
- EIA/CDIF Meta-model "Data Modeling":
(p. 248-249, 255-256)
- EIA/CDIF Meta-model "Presentation Location and Connectivity":
(p. 261-262, 266)
- "The EIA/CDIF Integrated Meta-model":
(p. 268, 270-273, 278-280)
-
A brief listing of the meta-object hierarchy for all of the
standardized EIA/CDIF Meta-models, displaying among other things the
cardinalities and hinting at mandatory meta-relationships and the meta-entities
which must participate in them. (This is also given for the
"EIA/CDIF
Integrated Meta-model" as if it was a standardized meta-model on its
own.)

(p. 168)

The EIA/CDIF-standardized OMG IDL-definitions for the EIA/CDIF Meta-meta-model
(p. 98-105) and for the founding EIA/CDIF
Meta-model, "Foundation" (p. 171-173).
-
"M2Level" for capturing more meaning about Meta-model level concepts
(p. 356-383).
