Summary

HUTN is a mapping from MOF models to human-usable textual notations, based on a number of usability principles. In this way, any MOF model can have a textual notation, in the form of parsing and printing tools, generated automatically.

HUTN has been adopted by the OMG Technical Committee, and is currently undergoing a finalisation process. If you have any issues with the HUTN specification, please email them to hutn-ftf@omg.org
