Abstract
This paper introduces the GraX graph exchange format that can be used by software engineering tools. The data to be transferred are separated into a schema and an instance part which are both exchanged in the same way. The application of GraX as a vehicle for tool interoperability will be exemplified in the context of CASE and software reengineering tools. Keywords: exchange format, XML, CASE tool interoperability, reengineering tool interoperability, graph technology 1 Motivation To enable interoperability between tools supporting various tasks in software engineering a suitable mechanism for interchanging data between those tools is required. Several data exchange formats have been developed to exchange models of software systems and information systems on various levels of abstraction (for CASE 1 tools see e. g. CDIF [7, 8] and XMI [11] and for CARE 1 tools see e. g. ASFIX [12], RSF [16], and TA [9]). Due to the heterogeneity of the subject domain of different tools ther...
