Hi,

I'm trying to generate UML use case diagrams from data that are stored in a CSV file. the structure of the CSV file is as follows:

actor;use_case;interface

Is there any API or transformation approach that allows to get from data that are stored in a CSV file to use case diagrams on Papyrus?

Thanks,

Takwa

Hi

A CSV file is not a model so you cannot use a model to model transformation directly. The MoDisco project might have a model discovery that works for your CSV, but I doubt it. The Epsilon project has done work treating spreadsheets as models so that might allow you to get a model input.

Once you have a model, any M2M should work, but since your CSV data is probably large but simple, a direct Java use of the Eclipse UML2 API might be easier.

However, I must question why you bother. Your use cases are clearly tabular so a spreadsheet will give a perfectly adequate, possibly better rendering than a UML tool.

Regards

You can import the use cases and the actors from Excel table into Papyrus using tables (it's a bit tricky to set up Papyrus tables for import, you need to read the documentation).
The interface will not help you: you will have to create association between use case and actor (and dependencies between use cases) manually using diagrams.
