An engineer using SysML modeling tool B imports an XMI die produced by SysML modeling tool A (containing a complete model) and makes changes to the model

What is the best way XMI provides to introduce the changes back to the original model in the original tool (Tool A)?

AExport only the modified and new elements to XMI and import it to Tool A.

BProduce a special XMI file expressing the differences from the original XMI and import it into Tool A

CPartition the models and exchange parts of the models alter identifying the parts that were changed.

DImport the entire model back to Tool A as a separate copy and use the tool's diff/merge utility to merge in the changes

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

XMI is a standard format for exchanging metadata information via XML, such as UML models. XMI supports a mechanism for producing a special XMI file that contains only the differences between two versions of a model, called a difference model. This file can be imported into another tool to apply the changes to the original model.This approach is more efficient and reliable than exporting and importing the entire model or parts of it

Option A is the clear winner here. Why import the whole model when you can just send the updates? That's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Option C is the way to go. Partitioning the models and exchanging only the changed parts seems like the most organized approach.

I'm going with option D. Importing the entire model and using the tool's diff/merge utility seems like the safest way to ensure no conflicts or issues.

I agree with option D, it's better to import the entire model to avoid any potential conflicts.

Option B sounds like a good idea to me. Using a special XMI file to express the differences could help keep the original model intact.
