Hi,

I need to transform a UML model to a XDS Schema using Eclipse. How I can do it?

I read about two options: Hypermodel and EDNA. What do you recommend?

I need to know the transformations between then (UML-XSD) and I would like to modify them if it's possible.

Thanks for all,

Ramón.

Ramón, 
 
I imagine such a transformation should be about how instances of the
UML2 model are serialized as XML. But UML doesn't (directly)
specify how instances are to be serialized as XML/XMI. One
approach you could use is to transform UML2 to Ecore and then to
generate an XMI or XML schema from that.

Hi,

I'm so sorry, but I didn't explain my idea so well.

I'm going to try again.

I don't want to serialize the UML model as XMI.

My objective is to transform UML model to its XSD Schema (I got it using Enterprise Architect). Besides, if it's possible know the steps and the source code to do it.

I did a Ecore model from a XSD Schema, but I couldn't do the inverse option: a XSD Schema from a Ecore model.

You explain me the option of generate an XMI or XML schema from the Ecore Model. How do you do it? Open the Ecore model with the text Editor?

Thanks for all,

Ramón.

I assume not, given that UML2 models are already serialized as XMI.

You make it sound like there is some specified mapping, but I don't know
of one.

Open the *.genmodel and use Export Model...

As above. You can play with it to see how it works.

If you only have an Ecore model, you'll have to create Generator Model
for it; there's a wizard to create it.
