A Short Introduction to the GXL Software Exchange Format
نویسندگان
چکیده
GXL (Graph Exchange Language) is designed to be a standard exchange format for information that is derived from software. This exchange is done by representing the information as a graph and transcribing the graph to XML. This paper presents an example of a graph representing program information and shows how such a graph is encoded in XML The syntax of GXL is given by an XML DTD. The form of GXL graphs is given by a schema (a UML class diagram) which in turn can be exchanged as a GXL graph.

Exchanging Graphs with GXL
GXL (Graph eXchange Language) is designed to be a standard data exchange format for graph-based tools. GXL is defined as an XML sublanguage, which offers support for exchanging instance graphs together with their appropriate schema information in a uniform format. Formally, GXL is based on typed, attributed, directed, ordered graphs which are extended by concepts to represent hypergraphs and hi...
متن کاملGXL: Toward a Standard Exchange Format
This paper describes ongoing work toward the development of a standard software exchange format (SEF), for exchanging information among tools that analyze computer programs. A particular exchange format called GXL (Graph Exchange Language) is proposed. GXL can be viewed as a merger of well known formats (e. g. GraX, PROGRES, RPA, RSF, and TA) for exchanging typed, attributed, directed graphs. B...

متن کاملE/R Schema for the Datrix C/C++/Java Exchange Format
A SEF (software exchange format), such as GXL [6], TA [4] or RSF [7], is used to exchange data between tools that analyze software. Researchers at Bell Canada have specified the Datrix [3] SEF in TA (and soon to be, GXL) for C, C++ and Java. It is designed so that a parser for the language, C, C++ or Java, can read a source program and emit the program’s Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) in the Datrix...
متن کاملGXL: A graph-based standard exchange format for reengineering
GXL (Graph eXchange Language) is an XML-based standard exchange format for sharing data between tools. Formally, GXL represents typed, attributed, directed, ordered graphs which are extended to represent hypergraphs and hierarchical graphs. This flexible data model can be used for object-relational data and a wide variety of graphs. An advantage of GXL is that it can be used to exchange instanc...
