The Autosar standard represents an emerging approach to unifying virtually all aspects of the development workflow of automotive embedded software. The standard features an XML schema used as a basis for interchanging documents containing Autosar model content. Although the schema is primarily for document exchange, it could also be the basis for creating a metamodel. However, a tool metamodel should probably be designed differently.
