AML_ — specification is not related to so should not be dependent on NIEM

This specification is not related to so should not be dependent on NIEM, merely because an old version of the latter happened to define some useful primitive types

There are no dependency on NIEM. NIEM-UML types were reused

There is no direct dependency on any versions of NIEM in the specification. A link to NIEM-UML version 1 was provided under the normative reference section since NIEM-UML was referenced in section 9.1.1 AML Provisioning Context. The file ReferncesModelProfile.xmi( Health/2015-04-03) reuses several types as defined in http://www.omg.org/spec/NIEM-UML/20120501/XmlPrimitiveTypes.xmi and was identified in the AML Submission Inventory.

The UML XML Primitive Types library represents the data types defined in the XML Schema for Schemas. There is an isomorphic mapping between the types in the UML XML Primitive Type library and the explicitly defined SimpleTypeDefinitions in the Schema for Schemas. This type library is defined by the NIEM-UML Specification. The primary types referenced by AML-UML are the temporal types.
