IP-XACT
IP-XACT is a standard for describing and
handling intellectual property (IP), created
by The SPIRIT Consortium, that enables
automated configuration and integration
through tools.

Goals for IP-XACT
Ensure delivery of compatible intellectual
property descriptions from multiple
intellectual property vendors.
Better enable importing and exporting
complex intellectual property sets to, from
and between Eletronic Design
Automation (EDA) tools for SoC design
(design environments).
