Re: [mdt-bpmn2.dev] Splitting up BPMN20.ecore

Hi Benedikt,
first of all welcome to the BPMN2 project.
Now about your idea: It sounds good, but ...
The Ecores in BPMN2 are generated(merged) from 2 OMG sources - CMOF and XSDs. Details can be found in my articles that are linked from our wiki. Unfortunately BPMN2.0 might have a logical layering, but physically all the semantic stuff is in one file - in both CMOF and XSD.
If we would break the ECORE not into multiple files, it would become impossible to redo the generation. So I would only do it, it we are 100% sure, that a regeneration will definitely not happen.
Besides of this technical problem, it would be a lot of work. Do you know a technical way to decide to which submodel a class would belong? They are all in the same namespace and I don't know any (meta-) attribute that would allow us the qualification.

Regards,
 Reiner.

PS: I will comment on the other question in Bugzilla soon.

Subject: [mdt-bpmn2.dev] Splitting up BPMN20.ecore

Hi,

BPMN20.ecore is really huge. Why don't we split it up the way, the
BPMN meta model is split up in the spec? We would have four referenced
models:
* Infrastructure
* Foundation
* Common Elements
* Services

What do you think?

Regards,
Benedikt
