Meta-Object Facility

Meta-object facility (MOF) is like a blueprint for computer programs. It is a set of rules (in the form of classes and code) that lets you create a computer program. MOF is like a template that you can use to make sure your computer program works in the same way as someone else's program. This way, your program can use the same input and produce the same output as the other person's program, even if your program was made with different materials.
