Teams,
There is an initiative underway at the OMG to
try to
successfully demonstrate interchange between different products/tools
that
support UML modeling. To date, I have been involved the working group
that is
pursuing this, by helping prepare test cases. The basic idea is that,
for each
test case, a reference diagram and XMI serialization are provided (so
far by
me) and each participating vendor/tool is to 1) attempt to create the
diagram
from scratch using their tool and save/export the corresponding XMI and
2)
attempt to open/import the XMI produced by the other vendors/tools and
report
on the results.
I think it should be important to us that tools
based on the
reference open source implementation of UML (like UML2 Tools and
Papyrus)
participate in this initiative. I would be happy to represent you in
this initiative,
but first I would need an _expression_ of interest from you (e.g. from
your
component/project lead) and a general commitment to fixing any issues
that are
identified. What do you think?
Please let me know if you have any questions
and/or
concerns.
Thanks,
Kenn
