I looked at the dMOF information at your web site but it is not entirely clear to me what "programming against the MOF repository IDL" really means when all I really care is to navigate through the XMI model and extract the information I need according to a UML profile that we are defining as a set of stereotypes, constraints and tagged value pairs.
Maybe I missed something; could you point me to an example of dMOF that illustrates this kind of behavior? -- Nicolas. > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen Crawley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 10:21 PM > To: Nicolas Rouquette > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Vanessa D Johnson > Subject: Re: XMI to XML > > > > Let me clarify Vanessa's question a bit (we both work at JPL). > > > > Yes, an XMI document is an XML document for the XMI DTD. > > The problem here is to translate an XML document for the XMI DTD > > into another XML document for a different DTD or XML Schema. > > > > We thought about using XSLT but it can get very tedious to follow > > all of the id references to find simple things like the stereotype > > of a class. > > That makes sense now. > > I'm not aware of any tool that can do that, though I'll add it to the > list of things to consider adding to dMOF.
