IMF is based on best practice from industry and state of the art technology and research, advancing and sharpening principles from several standards and industry initiatives and integrating them in a coherent and scalable way. Key standards and technologies for IMF are summarized in Table 1.
information created in different contexts. IMF aims to over- come this misalignment by offering methods capturing the specific perspectives of any context in which information is created and relating information created in one context to information created in other contexts. Figure 3 illustrates an IMF model that evolves through a project lifecycle. The colors in the figure distinguish different aspects, a key concept that IMF borrows from the ISO/IEC 81346 standard. Primary aspects are requirements to function, requirements from location, and specification to product realization. The figure also shows two relations that are captured in IMF models:
• A hierarchical system of system decomposition which captures how the design space is repeatedly constrained by design decisions. The elements in the decomposition reflect different level of granularity in system descripti- ons.
• A relation between system objects of different aspects that captures transition from one stage in the project lifecycle to another. These different stages will typically introduce system objects at different levels of abstraction.
