Release 0.1a Package 2004-05-05 update

eep - Eurostep EXPRESS Parser

EXPRESS-to-UML Stylesheets

For Poseidon CE

The EXPRESS 1 to UML 1.4 XMI 1.2 XSLT Stylesheet reads the XML representation of EXPRESS used by the STEP Modules Repository project DTD and generates a UML 1.4, XMI 1.2 UML XMI file for inclusion in a Poseidon CE zargo file.

UML-to-EXPRESS Stylesheets

For Poseidon CE

The UML 1.4 XMI 1.2 XSLT Stylesheet reads the UML 1.4, XMI 1.2 file produced by Poseidon CE and generates an EXPRESS text file.

For ArgoUML

The UML 1.4 XMI 1.2 XSLT Stylesheet reads the UML 1.3, XMI 1.0 file produced by ArgoUML and generates an EXPRESS text file.

UML-to-OWL Stylesheets

For Poseidon CE

The UML 1.4 XMI 1.2 XSLT Stylesheet reads the UML 1.4, XMI 1.2 file produced by Poseidon CE and generates an OWL XML document.

UML tool templates and examples

The templates contain the pre-defined EXPRESS data types and other constructs required by the stylesheet.

For Poseidon CE

The Poseidon CE Template template model should be used with Poseidon Community Edition. An example model containing one UML diagram that uses the template is also available.

For ArgoUML

XML DTDs

Three XML Document Type Declaration (DTDs) are included in Release 0.1.

• The EXPRESS DTD created as part of the STEP Modules Repository project. It is only included as a convenience. The actual DTD is maintained in the "stepmod" project on SourceForge.
• The OMG UML 1.3, XMI 1.0 DTD that is added to XMI files before processing using the u2e capability.
• The Modified OMG UML 1.4, XMI 1.2 DTD that is added to XMI files before processing using the u2e capability.

Utilities

DOS Batch files for Windows users

Three DOS Batch files are included as guides to how to automate the process of reading and writing UML tool files. These use a DOS command line WinZip executable.

• One batch file executes EXPRESS-to-UML for Poseidon CE.
• One batch file executes EXPRESS-to-OWL.
• One batch file executes UML-to-EXPRESS for Poseidon CE.
• One batch file executes UML-to-OWL for Poseidon CE.
• One batch file executes UML-to-EXPRESS for ArgoUML.

Example models, ontologies and schemas

This section includes models, ontologies and schemas in various languages that are the input to and output of exff tools.

• ISO 15926-2 Integration of life-cycle data for process plants including oil and gas production facilities : Data Model
• the EXPRESS schema
• a UML 1.4 XMI 1.2 file resulting from the EXPRESS-to-UML generation
• a Poseidon CE UML model generated by importing the XMI file
• Various test cases
• an OWL ontology resulting from the UML-to-OWL generation and the Poseidon CE UML model from which it was generated
