MetaObject Facility (MOF)

The MetaObject Facility (MOF) is a standard framework used in software engineering to define and manage models that describe other models. It provides a common way to specify the structure, properties, and relationships of software components, making it easier to create, share, and understand complex systems. Essentially, MOF acts as a blueprint for building software models, ensuring consistency and interoperability across different modeling tools and platforms. It’s widely used in model-driven development to organize and formalize how software components and their interactions are represented.
