BMM Persistence Model and Syntax STABLE

The file syntax for storing and exchanging BMM model definitions. Tools use this format to load openEHR information model schemas at runtime for introspection, validation, and code generation. BMM defines the underlying meta-model; this specification defines how it is serialised to disk. The format is ODIN-based, making BMM schema files human-readable and editable in any text editor.

Purpose

This document describes a persistence model for the Basic Meta-Model (BMM) known as P_BMM, that may be used as a basis for serialisation of BMM models. It may be considered as an approximate replacement for the UML XMI for data-only models. It is human-readable and writable, and supports generic types (open and closed), container types, and multiple inheritance.
