Popis: A hypergraph is conformal if it is the family of maximal cliques of a graph. In this paper we are interested in the problem of determining when is the family of minimal transversal of maximal cliques of a graph conformal. Such graphs are called clique dually conformal (CDC for short). As our main results, we completely characterize CDC graphs within the families of triangle-free graphs and split graphs. Both characterizations lead to polynomial-time recognition algorithms. We also show that the class of CDC graphs is closed under substitution, in the strong sense that substituting a graph $H$ for a vertex of a graph $G$ results in a CDC graph if and only if both $G$ and $H$ are CDC.
