How would you specify an XER encoding to XMI (http://www.omg.
org/technology/documents/formal/xmi.htm)? For example, an instance of the example
PersonnelRecord at http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/en/xml/ASN1-as-an-XML-schema-notation.
htm could be encoded in XMI as:
<PersonnelRecord dateOfHire="19710917">
<PersonnelRecord.title>Director</PersonnelRecord.title>
<PersonnelRecord.name>
<Name>
<Name.givenName>John</Name.givenName>
<Name.initial>P</Name.initial>
<Name.familyName>Smith</Name.familyName>
</Name>
</PersonnelRecord.name>
<PersonnelRecord.nameOfSpouse>
<Name givenName="Mary" initial="T" familyName="Smith"/>
</PersonnelRecord.nameOfSpouse>
<PersonnelRecord.children>
<ChildInformation dateOfBirth="19571111">
<ChildInformation.name>
<Name givenName="Ralph" initial="T" familyName="Smith"/>
</ChildInformation.name>
</ChildInformation>
<ChildInformation>
<ChildInformation.name>
<Name givenName="Susan" initial="B">
<Name.familyName>Jones</Name.familyName>
</Name>
<ChildInformation.dateOfBirth>19590717</ChildInformation.dateOfBirth>
</ChildInformation>
</PersonnelRecord.children>
<PersonnelRecord.number>51</PersonnelRecord.number>
</PersonnelRecord>
The XMI encoding allows MOF-attributes to be either XML-attributes or XML-child
elements whose tagnames use a dot notation; normally you produce one form but you
have to read either. Would there be XER rules that map this encoding to and from
the example ASN.1 type definition?
