formally announced in 2008 Trieste interop, agreed by "tiger team" before |

Follows decision in Cambridge interop 2003! |
| SimDB/UML is self documenting |
|

SimDB/Note gives background and context, UML model is in principle sufficient (decision of core designers), presented in 2008 Trieste Interop |
| SimDB/DM's UML stored as XMI document |
|
|
XMI is standard XML format for representing UML documents |
| SimDB uses MagicDraw Community Edition 12.1 for the XMI |
