xmi support?

[magick93]

Hello

I'm interested in using OMG metamodels that are typically in xmi format.

I'm wondering if BESSER has support for that format?

Thanks

Not at the moment. What would be the goal, to import an XMI representation of a metamodel and have it as a BESSER normal (e.g. to visualize it in the editor, to generate a database implementation from it...)

Actually, it is something that I find useful as well.

I am using Enterprise Architect (EA), which is good but proprietary. The possibility to export or import XMI of a model with the editor it would be a nice feature. XMI is a standard but different UML editors adopt it at different versions and add their own extension. The version 14 of EA I have, it can export XMI 2.5.1 for UML 2.5.

Yes. There is such wealth of existing xmi resources available. In my particular case I'm interested enhancing existing xmi metamodels, and building a service and api that enables end users to create a model based on the metamodel.
