To get an impression of the saving format suggested in this proposal, this appendix contains an excerpt from an example file with the XMI[DI] information. As example, the UML model of the diagram interchange metamodel itself is used as Figure 3. Due to differences between MOF and UML, the structure types of the metamodel are modeled as classes in this example.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1' ?>
<XMI xmi.version = '1.2' xmlns:UML = 'org.omg.xmi.namespace.UML'
timestamp = 'Thu Sep 05 18:53:29 CEST 2002'>
<XMI.header>
To be provided...
This example is cut off at this point. The overall length of the XMI file would fill several dozen pages. If desired, the full example file can be downloaded from the site given below:
