Abstract

XMI is a standardized mechanism for exchanging UML models. However, this mechanism does not sufficiently fulfill the goal of a model interchange: it doesno t include the exchange of diagram information. XMI asde fined for UML 1.x is only capable of transporting information on the elementsin an UML model but not information as to how these elements are represented and laid out in diagrams.This paper proposes an extension to the UML metamodel to represent diagram information in a graph-oriented manner. The approach presented isab le to fix the deficiency for UML 1.x and solve the problem for UML 2.0. The approach wash anded in for standardization to the OMG in response to the Diagram Interchange RFP.
