MOF2 / EXPRESS Integration and Coexistence (MEXICO)

MEXICO is a project of an ad hoc group of individuals involved with the OMG's Manufacturing Technology & Industrial Systems Task Force (ManTIS) and ISO/STEP EXPRESS. The MEXICO project's goal is to define methods and standards for the harmonization of the EXPRESS and OMG UML modeling languages.

This site provides the EXPRESS Injector, a tool that maps EXPRESS schemas (ISO 10303 Part 11 form) to the EXPRESS meta-model, producing XMI.

• Class diagrams (.ppt) for the earlier 060301 model are here.
