The MOF has been adopted as OMG’s standard for representing metamodels. The CWM metamodel has been designed to conform to
this standard. This allows CWM to use other OMG specifications that are dependent on the MOF. In particular, it allows use
of XMI to interchange warehouse metadata that is represented using the CWM metamodel, and it allows use of IDL (and other
programming languages) for programmatic access to warehouse metadata based on the CWM metamodel.
