- The Ada Semantic Interface Specification is a layered
- vendor-independent open architecture. ASIS queries and services
- provide a consistent interface to information within an Ada Program
- Library. Clients of ASIS are shielded and free from the
- implementation details of each Ada vendor's proprietary library and
- intermediate representation.
-
- The latest working draft for ASIS is ASIS 1.0A, dated December 1992.
- The ASIS Working Group (ASISWG), under sponsorship of the AJPO,
- intends to evolve this working draft into an ISO standard
- complementing the Ada 9X standard. The current ASIS working draft is
- based on Ada 83. Your comments are welcome, if you want to see
- replies to your comments, please join the email discussion group
- first.
