Export BPMN2 model into XML from MagicDraw - bpmn

Can I export a BPMN2 model into XML using MagicDraw 17. BPMN2 spec specifies a XML schema to represent BMPN2

Answered on the NoMagic forums: https://community.nomagic.com/export-bmpn2-to-xml-t2177.html
Hello,
You can export BPMN models to XPDL standard in the current version. Later you can use different type of converters to convert it to BPMN XMI (e.g. www.businessprocessincubator.com ).
BPMN2 XML export will be added in the next major Cameo Business Modeler version.
Best Regards,

Which RDF formats does GraphDB supports for preserving target graphs?

The GraphDB import settings has an option for 'Target graphs' with 3 possible values:
from data
the default graph
a named graph (to be specified)
There is a tooltip documentation that says:
Data is imported into one or more graphs. Some RDF formats may specify graphs, while others do not support that. The latter are treated as if they specify the default graph.
Which RDF formats does GraphDB recognizes for specifying a graph?
In particular, is Owl serialized in RDF/XML one such format?
When I import a zip file of multiple *.owl files in RDF/XML format, I get all the triples loaded into the default graph even though I chose the 'from data' import option.
Can someone explain me how to import ontologies into GraphDB with graphs from the data?
GraphDB is built on top of RDF4J and supports the same formats as it does.
.owl files do not support named graphs, unfortunately. This is by design, rather than a GraphDB-specific behaviour.
As for the formats that do support named graphs, and can be imported into RDF4J/GraphDB, here's a list:
TriX - XML-based RDF serialization. File extensions .xml or .trix.
TriG - extension on Turtle. File extension .trig.
TriG* - TriG with RDF-star support. File extension .trigs.
Binary RDF - for binary RDF documents. File extension .brf.
N-Quads - a line-based syntax for triples, with context support. File extension .nq.
JSON-LD - JSON serialization for linked data. File extension .jsonld.
RDF/JSON - another JSON serialization. File extension .rj.
Given that you have .owl files, which are serialized with XML, I'd suggest that the easiest thing would be to conver them to TriX and go from there.

Modelio and Overture, does it work separately?

So.. I’m trying to work with both Modelio and Overture but both programs is really new to me.
I want to make a model in Modelio as a first, and then export it to Overture.
But is it supposed to work this way, or am I supposed to make it separately?
I suppose that you intend to use Modelio to create a Class Diagram with some classes and then export this diagram to EMF UML which can be imported in Overture. Overture will then create VDM classes matching the class defined in the class diagram.
To convert a UML class diagram model to a VDM++ model, you first need to export the UML
model from Modelio to the Eclipse XMI format, called UML using the EMF UML3.0.0 format.
At the moment, Modelio is the only UML tool supported. In particular, the exported UML models
have been tested using Modelio 3.3.1.
Exporting: Right-click a VDM++ or VDM-RT project to access a submenu for UML Transformation.
From here it is possible to Convert to UML. The resulting .uml file will be saved
to the generated folder of your project.
Importing: To perform a UML import you must have the .uml file in the relevant project folder.
You can either copy it manually or use the Eclipse Import - File System feature. Afterwards,
it is possible to right-click the .uml file and choose the submenu for UML Transformation
and then select Convert to VDM
See the Overture userguide for further information
I guess that you want to use both Modelio and Overture for vdmrt coding.
In this case the ideal way to work would be to make a model in Modelio and then export it as vdmrt classes and use them in Overture as Modelio works with Eclipse/Java. Unfortunatly Mdoelio doesn not provide any generation/reverse facilities for vdmrt...
But Modelio and Overture can work together for CPS modelling. This is INTO-CPS project aim. In this project, both Modelio and Overture provide FMI facilities which allow them to define CPS simulation. If you want more info please let me know.

How to export ERD diagram to image in oracle data modeler/sql developer

I'm on oracle sql developer 4.0.2.15. I used data modeller to generate Entity Relationship Diagram, how to save it as image? I need it to create documentation for my project.
File > Data Modeler > Print Diagram > To Image
Here's the Image File
And now available in newer versions, 17.x, the HTML/SVG
You can also generate HTML for your model's data dictionary AND include the diagrams as well. I talk more about that, here.

Generating SQL from UML models?

How do I properly generate SQL from a UML data model?
Attempt with ArgoUML
I have tried using "ArgoUML"; and the custom version of ArgoUML called "DB_UML".
DB_UML generates SQL files with this content, for example; from: Books.xmi:
Generate source failure. Database factory class {0} cannot be found.
ArgoUML gives me no error, and additionally doesn't produce anything. Maybe you can give me a sample working schema file?
Attempt with Enterprise Architect
Generated okay, but the association class was not generated anywhere.
Happy to use any other software on any platform which supports Oracle; as long as I can get this UML->SQL functionality working.
GenMyModel http://www.genmymodel.com/ is now providing an online UML to SQL generator.

Is it possible to generate XML file in gef

Is it possible to generate XML file from Shape example in GEF,Same as its getting generated in GMF?
Like in GMF if we select GMF Design page and open it with XML file,it provides all external information about model figures,same like i want to generate with GEF.
There is really no connections between the GEF and the way of persistance of it's domain model.
Here is two possible solutions:
1. If you domain model are plain java objects (POJOs) try using JAXB, and annotate them with JAXB annotations.Then use JAXB to persist them.
2. Switch to using EMF (which will provide you XML serrialization out of the box) and probably to GMF.
For just Shapes Example - there is a EMF - driven Shapes Example which will serrialize model to XMI, but that can be easily changed to XML.
In GMF you get automatic XML serialization since GMF is build on top EMF and GMF, using EMF as the model and GEF as the MVC framework. Editors that use GEF only must take care of serialization however they like.
