Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) is publicly available specification from the Object Management Group (OMG). KDM is a common intermediate representation for existing software systems and their operating environments, that defines common metadata required for deep semantic integration of Application Lifecycle Management tools. KDM was designed as the OMG's foundation for software modernization, IT portfolio management and software assurance. KDM uses OMG's Meta-Object Facility to define an XMI interchange format between tools that work with existing software as well as an abstract interface (API) for the next-generation assurance and modernization tools. KDM standardizes existing approaches to knowledge discovery in software engineering artifacts, also known as software mining.

The Java Content Repository (JCR) standard, which is based on the Java Specification Requests JSR170 (version 1.0) and JSR 283 (version 2.0), provides a Java-centric object-oriented storage API specifically targeted at content management scenarios. The JCR is not a content management system or a full-fledged content management system API, but rather a content repository API. A content repository provides a common API for all content-driven applications and CMS components, which require access to the content. It provides methods to read, write, and query content. The primary motivation of the JCR standard is to provide a standard and vendor-neutral programmatic interface for content repositories, allowing applications of multiple vendors to interact efficiently.
