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.

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>
