XML Metadata Interchange (XMI)

The purpose of XMI is to enable easy interchange of metadata between UML-based modeling tools and MOF-based metadata repositories in distributed heterogeneous environments. XMI integrates three industry standards:

  1. XML - eXtensible Markup Language, a W3C standard. See .
  2. UML - Unified Modeling Language, an OMG modeling standard. See .
  3. MOF - Meta Object Facility, an OMG meta-modeling and metadata repository standard. See .

The integration of these three standards into XMI allows developers of distributed systems to share object models and other metadata.

The changes wrought by these technologies will require both a basic grasp of the technologies and an effective way to deal with how these changes will affect the people who build and use the systems in our organizations. This book covers both issues. Managers at all levels of all organizations must be aware of both the changes that we are now seeing and ways to deal with issues created by those changes.
