Comments:

The xml files contained in "Updated UML-XMI for Foundations" (finance-13-09-06.zip) cannot be imported into our UML tools. We tried Visual Paradigm and Erwin and got the same results. Only the class name was imported.

Deliverables to resolve this issue are imminent so this issue can be closed in December

The deliverables required to resolve this issue are to be delivered at the December OMG meeting. This issue can be closed as soon as this is delivered. The issue is therefore deferred to the FIBO Foundations RTF which will be chartered at the December OMG DTC Plenary and will be closed immediately thereafter.

Provision of XMI export capabilities by NoMagic will provide clean export of UML XMI from ODM-compliant models regardless of whether these are produced using VOM or using a vanilla ODM implementation in Cameo / MagicDraw. This will be loadable by any suitably XMI compliant UML modeling tool, and should therefore address the issue as raised provided the user was using a tool which is XMI compliant.

A vanilla ODM profile in one place with no dependencies on VOM or anything else will enable data exchange including diagrams.

NM will demonstrate this at the OMG meeting in Long Beach in December 2014. This will address FIBOFTF2-1 to the extent that the tools people are using will support it.
