- CDRF
- Compound Document by Reference Framework. An interoperability framework specification that is one of the W3C CDF recommendations. CDRF addresses interoperability issues not addressed by individual markup languages incorporated in a compound document such as the propagation of events across namespaces, the combination of rendering, and the user interaction model. CDRF is designed for the interoperability of implementations of the various Web Integration Compound Document (WICD) profiles and integration of the forthcoming CDIF. The Compound Document Framework is language-independent. While CDRF is clearly meant to serve as the basis for integrating W3C's family of XML formats within its Interaction Domain (e.g., MathML, SMIL, SVG, VoiceXML, XForms, XHTML, XSL) with each other, together with CSS and the W3C Document Object Model, it can also be used to integrate non-W3C formats with W3C formats or to integrate non-W3C formats with other non-W3C formats.
