Abstract
The NIST EXPRESS toolkit is a software library for building EXPRESS-related tools. This paper is one in a series describing the latest version of the toolkit. This document describes shortcomings of previous versions of the toolkit, requirements for improvement, and a recommended approach for addressing those requirements. A background knowledge of EXPRESS and the EXPRESS toolkit is presumed as well as a rudimentary grasp of basic compiler construction techniques.
