This repository is part of the OASIS Open Project named NIEMOpen. NIEMOpen is a community-driven, standards-based approach to defining information exchange packages for multiple business domains.
The NIEM Common Model Format (CMF) is a data modeling formalism for NIEM-conforming data exchange specifications.
This repository contains the NIEMOpen Common Model Format Tool (CMF) software project. CMFTool provides command-line applications to support message developers and designers working with NIEM models in XSD and CMF format. It provides software libraries for other tool developers wishing to work with CMF
There are five subprojects in this repository:
-
app-cmftool is a Java application project for cmftool, a command-line tool for transforming NIEM XSD into CMF, and vice versa. cmftool can also generate useful artifacts for message developers; for example, message schemas in XSD and JSON Schema to validate XML and JSON messages.
-
app-niemtran is a Java application project for niemtran, a command-line tool for converting NIEM messages from one format to another; for example, converting a NIEM XML message into the equivalent NIEM JSON message.
-
app-scheval is a Java application project for scheval, a command-line tool for compiling and evaluating Schematron rules. It has special features required for evaluating NIEM naming and design rules written in Schematron.
-
lib-cmf is a Java library project providing classes for working with NIEM models in XSD and CMF. Both cmftool and niemtran depend on lib-cmf. Other tool developers may find useful functionality here.
-
lib-util is a Java library project providing classes that are used in all subprojects, and which may be useful in other projects.
This project was built with NetBeans 26, Gradle 8.12, and Oracle JDK 21.
