Sebastien,
Thanks for your willingness to
participate! To get started, could you please use Papyrus to produce a diagram similar
(as close as possible) to the attached reference diagram (the first test case) and
send a PNG image if it to me. Also, to participate in the interchange initiative,
we will need to provide “standard” UML 2.1.1 XMI based on the semantic elements
shown in the diagram. According to the rules of engagement for the working
group, there should be a user-accessible action to trigger saving/exporting of
the XMI, but it’s OK if that’s not the case currently (e.g. I could use the
UML2 sample editor to produce it for now).
It would be great if you could
do this and send me the results by (my) Monday, although I realize that may be
pushing it… ;)
Cheers,
Kenn

Hi Kenn,
Of course, that's sound good for us. I am also ok to work with you
on that task.
Cheers… Sébastien.

Objet : [mdt-papyrus.dev] Model Interchange
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
