This document specifies rules for the creation and extending of TPEG application UML models. The rules are intended to ensure that TPEG application UML models can be interpreted unambiguously for conversion to physical format representations. TPEG application UML models that are defined according to these rules can be used for automatic generation of TPEG standards and for automatic generation of TPEG application physical format descriptions.

This document also specifies the preferred structure of TPEG application specifications.

The TPEG abstract data types and the set of TPEG tables of common use are specified in the annexes.
