abstract = {Tool support is recognised as a key issue in the
reengineering of large scale object-oriented systems.
However, due to the heterogeneity in today's
object-oriented programming languages, it is hard to
reuse reengineering tools across legacy systems. This
paper proposes a language independent exchange model,
so that tools may perform their tasks independent of
the underlying programming language. We have adopted
CDIF as the basis for the exchange of information,
using this model, between the reengineering tool
prototypes in the FAMOOS project. The main reasons
for adopting CDIF are, that firstly it is an industry
standard, and secondly it has a standard plain text
encoding which tackles the requirements of convenient
querying and human readability. Next to that the CDIF
framework supports the extensibility we need to
define our model and language plug-ins.},
