Abstract :
Current research in software reengineering offers a great amount of tools specialized on certain reengineering tasks. The definition of a powerful common interchange format is a key issue to provide interoperability between these tools. This paper discusses aspects of data interchange formats for exchanging reengineering related data. It proposes a graph-based format to exchange both application specific concepts and data by XML documents
