Abstract

GXL (Graph Exchange Language) is designed to be a standard exchange format for information that is derived from software. Representing the information as a graph and transcribing the graph to XML do this exchange. 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 (an UML class-diagram), which in turn can be exchanged as a GXL graph.
