Cedric,
The OMG initiative is currently
focused on just model (semantic) interchange, not diagram interchange, seeing
as it’s generally recognized that the latter is not yet well-supported by standards/tools.
Cheers,

Subject: Re: [mdt-papyrus.dev] Model Interchange
Hi,
Papyrus has always take care to be compatible with existing standard
formats. This is the case with UML2, and we have tried to do the same with DI.
The new Eclipse Papyrus should also be compatible with UML2 and DI.
There will be no problem with UML2, but we will need an exporter/importer for
DI.
About the DI format, we need some examples of DI usage, which lack in
the OMG DI specification. This lake of DI usage and examples is the reason why
we have not fully succeed in the previous Papyrus version.
I am interested in this initiative.

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,
