Explanation
These are the most important considerations in selecting a SysML modeling tool for this project because they ensure that the tool can support the openness and longevity of the distributed information system. XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) is a format specification that enables the interchange of objects and models through an XML formatted file. It is based on a metamodel that defines the mapping of MOF concepts to XML concepts.
By having compatibility with XMI, the tool can import and export SysML models in terms of XML elements and attributes. This allows the tool to publish the system-level models for the world to see and to receive change requests from others in a standardized format. The tool can also use stereotypes to identify changes made by others. The SysML standard is an extension of the UML standard that defines a modeling language for systems engineering. It specifies the abstract syntax, semantics, and notation for SysML concepts and diagrams. By having the ability to enforce strict compliance with the SysML standard, the tool can ensure that the system-level models are consistent and interoperable with other tools and models that follow the same standard. The tool can also support others to develop additional subsystems and plug-ins using SysML concepts and diagrams. By having the ability to query models based on user-defined criteria, the tool can enable users to search and filter system-level models according to their needs and interests. The tool can also support visualization and analytics of system-level models using queries. References:
