RE: [BIONT] Teleconference on Tuesday, 5th September 2006

I also don't have Visio but I found this free download of a Visio Viewer
from Microsoft:

-BD53-DA23635AB2DF&displaylang=en> &displaylang=en

 

Nevertheless, I agree with Bill that it would be ideal if the XMI can be
posted.

 

Thank you for producing a great start Vipul!

Many thanks, Vipul.

 

I think this is a nice, concrete start and will certainly provide a solid
foundation for discussion as we move forward - as will the Design Issues
page you've created.

 

If it's OK, I'd like to make a small request re: the UML file.  I see MS has
created an XMI export feature for Visio
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3DD3F3BE-656D-4830
-A868-D0044406F57D
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3DD3F3BE-656D-4830
-A868-D0044406F57D&displaylang=en> &displaylang=en).  Would it be possible
for you to export the UML from Visio in XMI format?  This way I'll be able
to use one of several open source modeling tools that use XMI as there
persistence file format.  I assume I'm not the only one on the list without
a copy of Visio on hand.  I expect there may be some associations that don't
translate perfectly, but as it now stands, I'm not able to take advantage of
the fruit's of your labor.  As a side note, I often provide a PNG version
when distributing models, just so others who either don't have the tools or
the knowledge of how to use open source equivalents can at least view the
model in a web browser.

 

Many thanks again.  I think it will be immensely helpful to have made this
concrete step forward.  It also provides the BioRDF WG an opportunity to
comment on how this ontology will mesh with the requirements they've been
identifying for the Parkinsonian Syndrome-related data sources.

 

Cheers,

Bill
