This part of ISO/IEC 15909 defines an XML-based transfer format for Petri nets, which are defined conceptually and
mathematically in ISO/IEC 15909-1. This transfer format enables the exchange of Petri nets among different Petri
net tools and among different parties. Moreover, this part of ISO/IEC 15909 defines some concepts and XML-based
syntax for defining the detailed graphical appearance of Petri nets.
The focus of this part of ISO/IEC 15909 is on the transfer format for Place/Transition Nets, High-level Petri Nets and
Symmetric Nets. The presentation, however, is structured in such a way that it is open for future extensions, so that
other versions of Petri nets can be added later. The exact definition of this extension mechanism, called Petri net type definition,is not defined in this part of ISO/IEC 15909; it will be defined in ISO/IEC 15909-3.
The transfer format will be used to transfer specifications of systems developed in High-level Petri Nets between
tools to facilitate the development of systems in teams.
This part of ISO/IEC 15909 is written as a reference for developers of Petri net tools. Moreover, it will be useful for
researchers who define new versions and variants of Petri nets.
