Title: MDG Technology - Importing Matrix Profiles
Post by: ADucci on March 26, 2014, 10:06:59 pm

Hi.

I have created a sample MDG file whereby i have created many different element types, my intention now, is to create a few predefined matrix profiles which will be used to associate the new elements to each other.

Is it possible to include a set of matrix profiles as part of an MDG technology import?

Thanks

I don't think it makes sense. Matrix profiles include the packages at the source and target. At the time of writing a technology you can't know this.

Hi, thanks.

well, I am utilising the technology as a sort of "metamodel" for the organisation, following an approach where diagram linkages may be done using the matrix view. in this case there will not be a pre-defined model type created via MDG, however there will be a pre-defined matrix to which the link can be modelled.

To illustrate with an example,  I have created a model type called "L4 Activity Diagram"  and  another model called "Business Organisation Diagram"  then lastly there is a matrix profile which will be used to link the lane on the activity diagram to a role used on the organisation diagram ... hence the need for a matrix profile to be included in the MDG.

thanks
