Hi,

I wonder if anyone might be able to help – it says on the openEHR Release 1.0.1 UML Models page ([http://www.openehr.org/releases/1.0.2/architecture/computable/UML/uml.html](http://www.openehr.org/releases/1.0.2/architecture/computable/UML/uml.html)) that there is an XMI 1.0 file output for the UML models. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a copy?

I’m not too concerned about the XMI or openEHR release version, I’m just looking for a resource that I can load into a UML tool to give me a better overview of the infrastructure than switching and cross referencing between half doz plus PDF documents.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kindest regards

Hi!

The wiki-page...  
[http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/dev/Experimental+generation+of+code+and+documentation+from+UML](http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/dev/Experimental+generation+of+code+and+documentation+from+UML)  
...might be helpful.

Please keep us (or the wikipage) updated with your progress in loading  
openEHR models into UML tools.

I forgot to mention, if you are looking for a big RM-overview UML  
diagram, in 2008 I made an attempt at:  
[http://www.imt.liu.se/~erisu/2008/openEHR-tour/print/openEHR-RM-1.0.1-may23-17.54.gif](http://www.imt.liu.se/~erisu/2008/openEHR-tour/print/openEHR-RM-1.0.1-may23-17.54.gif)

It is not complete and free from errors, but has been useful many times.  
I have tried to mark in purple places where the model is expandable  
(e.g. item-structures). Inheritance arrows to LOCATABLE are red.

Error: PARTY\_PROXY is missing at least the important "external\_ref" attribute.

(I recommend A3 paper if you want to print it)

Tom, Erik,

Many thanks for links.

Loaded contents of openehr.xml-1.zip into Enterprise Architect - classes, attributes and associations load ok; diagrams and annotations missing (as expected) and attribute types and generalisations also missing.

I’m guessing that it should be possible to tweak the XMI to render the missing features assuming that all the source data is there.
