xml schema for exported xmi

[kate.jackson]

Hello

Is there xsd file that's EA using for exporting to XMI 2.1 available for download anywhere ?
I would like to parse exported XMI file, but it will be pain no less without schema/dtd. I tried omg site but have not found any of it.

Best regards,

Kate,

To the best of my knowledge the 'documents' referred to by the XMI element's attributes are simply placeholders - along the lines of how XHTML identifies which dialect (e.g. transitional) a given page adheres to. The OMG URI refers to a well-known specification, which many applications can be expected to support; the other one indicates that this is a specific implementation. In the latter case the real requirement is to use the URI as a unique identifier so that another implementation will not accidentally use the same ID - providing a name based on a company domain tends to avoid conflicts with other vendors' offerings.

You can download the XMI 2.1 specification from: http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?formal/2005-09-01.

Hello Kate,

EA uses the Schema published by OMG to serialize its UML models in XMI 2.1. This XSD can be found at : http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ptc/2006-04-05

Cheers.

EA uses the Schema published by OMG to serialize its UML models in XMI 2.1.

Thanks for the link, I just coulnd't find it. This schema however does not look like the one EA is using while exporting to XMI 2.1
For example:
Most of elements defined in schema, like packagedElement is of type

Code: [Select]

xmi:Any while in the exported file every packagedElement is of type

Code: [Select]

uml:packagedElement.
And why does the

Code: [Select]

xmi:XMI element, does not "know" about

Code: [Select]

uml:Model element if model is placed just under xmi node ?
Where are this differences coming from, and how is EA parsing XMI 2.1 files with such schema ? Anyone knows ?
I'm using EA 6.5 if it matters.

Thanks in advance
