Fact Sheet: XML Metadata Interchange (XMI)

General

Short Description/ Transmitted Information	- Technology for interchanging UML/SysML models between tools
Application Scope	- Describe implementation, execution, content and usage if FMU - Open also for models that are not delivered as FMU
Maturity
Goals	- Standardized description format for behaviour models - Enhancement of FMU interoperability - Verification-oriented
Penetration	Individual expert teams
Visibility	Approx. 10%
Promoting Bodies	- OMG - ISO
Type	- OMG Standard - ISO Standard
IT Standard Classification
Data Format
Relations to other standards	Based on 3 industry standards: OMG‘s MOF and UML, W3C‘s XML
Overlap with other standards

Enable openness and interoperability for UML/SysML-based modelling tools
Exchange information in distributed heterogeneous development environments
Enable cooperation across engineering departments and disciplines
One single technology standard for connecting tools → no need to develop individual bridges between each pair of tools → more flexibility in choice of tools
Take advantage of UML, SysML and XML prevalence in industry
