Elements of AAF
The elements of AAF include:
- The AAF Object Specification, which defines the way AAF stores metadata and essence
- The AAF API Specification, which defines how software engineers can write applications
- The AAF Reference Implementation, which implements both these specifications in a completely cross-platform manner
- The AAF Software Development Kit (SDK), which includes developer utilities and validation test suites
- The AAF Example software which demonstrates how to use the AAF SDK to produce AAF files
- The AAF Example files created by working AAF implementations
AAF was originally created by the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), formerly the AAF Association Inc., a broadly based trade association created to promote the development and adoption of AAF, MXF and SOA technology in media workflows. The AAF Object Model is now being standardized through SMPTE, including a better definition of the mapping between MXF and AAF essence.

“psychologist
It is through friendships that teenagers learn to take responsibility, provide support, and give their loyalty to non- family members. It is also in teenage friendships that young people find confidants with whom to share thoughts and feelings that they are not comfortable sharing with their parents. Such sharing becomes one of the elements of true intimacy, which will be established later.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“But all subsists by elemental strife;
And Passions are the elements of Life.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
