Dear All,
I am looking to write an XSLT sheet which will transform a BPMN xmi/xmi
file into an SVG image.
A) Why are there 2 files i.e. x.bpmn & x.bpmn_diagram ? Is it like
UML/XMI & XMI-DI?
B) What is the relationship between them i.e. how are they bound
together? Simply "the same file name in the same directory one called
..bpmn & the other bpmn_diagram"? I can find no file url in one referring
to the other.

Hi Adam,
GMF already provides support for export in SVG.
Just right-click on the diagram, choose File>Save As Image File and
choose SVG.

One file contains the semantic model, while the other contains pure
graphical notations.

The graphical notation file's elements are linked to their semantic
elements. It looks like this:
<element xmi:type="bpmn:DataObject"
href="modeler.bpmn#_63FrkXBsEdyBRPFR9_F1HA"/>
Hope this helps,
Antoine

I know and I am impressed......
But we produce a set of healthcare related models in a large zip file
which are then downloaded by people looking to implement those models (I
work for the UK NHS IT program)
This collection of artefacts is being rendered from the original models
into HTML/Documentation, XSD, SVG & thus also to jpg etc.etc. via ant
scripts including XSLT transforms etc.
ie. we have lots of models (HL7 MIF, XMI, & hopefully now BPMN) all in
some dialect of XML which are then rendered via XSLT into the various
required formats as part of a build process.

So a bit like XMI-DI then? Is it the same semantics or something wholly new?

Ahhhh.....I must have been blind as I did an XSLT to render the XMI
compare tool's output into HTML for our use here (so we could produce
advisories to developers showing what had changed between releases).

Indeed. Thanks.

You may thank GMF and the Batik teams for that.

Well, you can go and see their code. It's pretty straight forward once
you have been able to load the models in headless mode (that's a huge
piece of work when not running in Eclipse).
You can use our extension of CopyToImageUtil, LazyCopyToImageUtil, to
create the SVG by using all the GMF and Batik goodness.

I don't know what XMI-DI stands for. We chose to separate the semantic
model from the graphical model when saving.

I was aware of that because I use The UML2 tools.

Yup but the nice thing is that I can create a diagram with all the known
shapes, save to SVG & then look at the result.....<G>
