I’m really happy TO announce that the OMG has recently created the Model Interchange Working GROUP (MIWG). The goal OF the MIWG IS TO improve the interoperability OF MOF/XMI-based tools.

MIWG comprises END users, tool vendors AND experts IN the UML AND XMI® standards.

The MIWG’s approach is to create an export of the same UML model from each participating vendor’s tool AND THEN import those models INTO each other’s tool. This approach will be applied across a number of test cases representing different types of models.

The first test case, representing a UML Class Model, has been successfully completed, and is available on the group’s Wiki page

READ the FULL press release OR access the wiki FOR MORE information.

Hopefully during the summer (AND now that I’ve slightly upgraded my account to be able to install Tomcat in my VPS) I’ll be able TO release my small contribution TO solve this problem.
