Hi all,
I've been wrestling with building my own model in XSD for a while now and
haven't made much progress. I've come to the realization that my big
problem is that I dont really know whats going on in XSD (Ive actually
discussed it with a colleague and hes having the same problem) as it
related to modeling for GMF.
So Ive gone back to the mindmap tutorial (which works fine) and I want to
try and understand it. Im hoping that once Ive grasped that Ill be able
to build my own model. To do this Ive gotten a copy of the diagram of
mindmap and tried to comment XSD file on what is going on.
What I hope is that people will correct/fill in the rest of the comments
for the file and eventually the good people at Eclipse will pick it up and
make it available for all newbies.
As I havent seen many posts up about this kind of stuff Im guessing
loads of people understand whats going on and could contribute. Please
refrain from jargon (EReference, EAnnotation, etc), just say in English
what is happening in the model. Also a short intro would be good saying
what midmap does etc.
Yes, I have looked at the mindmap description (most of it anyway), 136
pages ftp://www6.software.ibm.com/software/developer/library/ws-bp el.pdf
Not once is the word topic, an integral part of mindmap, get mentioned
in the text.
Yes, also looked at XMS Schema to Ecore Mapping, it spells out the syntax
but doesnt really help with building a model:
http://www.eclipse.org/emf/docs/overviews/XMLSchemaToEcoreMa pping.pdf
Eclipse guys: a tutorial on how to build a model in XSD would be great.
Mindmap is just the end product, me (and Im guessing a lot of other
people) need to know the steps involved in getting there. Explained at
each step with an XSD file that works with GMF.
Anywho, heres my mindmap.xsd with comments, copy/paste into eclipse for
editing and then post new text up. I dont expect anyone to do it all, but
if you add even a small bit itll get done really fast and hopefully help
people in the future.
Hope this works....

Hi,
Well, the mindmap domain model was created just to be a simple example for
the GMF tutorial, an in fact started out in life as an *.ecore model
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Image:Domain.png). The really bad news
here is that it was originally created in such a manner as to work with the
very earliest stages of GMF tooling (read: it's not ideal ;)
Later on, we (actually, Ed as I recall) used EMF to generate the XSD you
refer to below. The notion of threads and thread items correspond to simple
discussion notes and comments. They were created only to illustrate the
compartment features of GMF, as I don't know anyone that would use them in a
real mindmap.
For the 2.0 update to the tutorial, I was considering redoing this model, or
switching to BPMN.
For building XSD models, why not use the XSD editor available from EMF/XSD?
Or, do as I did and forget about XSD itself and just use Ecore and then have
it generate your XSD? If you're really interested in understanding how the
XSD below was produced from Ecore, I'm sure Ed can clue you in... Or, you
can look at the code, I guess.
Best,
Rich

I'm not very familiar with the MindMap model itself and it seems you
mostly want a description of the intended semantics for this particular
model, which I can't really provided. If a person isn't familiar with
XSD, an XSD is probably not a good starting point for creating a model;
the WTP project has a nice graphical XSD editor. It's probably better to
start with something familiar and then generate the XSD, if you really
need one, as Rich suggests. From the Generator menubar item for an open
..genmodel or from the popup for a .genmodel, you can invoke Export
Model...->XML Schema.

Just want to let everyone on this thread know that there is now an open source solution - that automatically makes a Mind map MM model from any XML Schema input.
You can find it at the CAMprocessor project on Sourceforge - http www dot cameditor dot org is the direct link.
Basically you ingest your XSD schema into a template - and then export the mind map or UML/XMI. If you install the Freemind mind map tool - then you can automatically open and view in that.
Enjoy, DW
