Associations with XML

Associations with XML

The following example shows how Open Information Model (OIM) associations are encoded in Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Example

<Class1 oim:id="_1" attrib1="...">
      <Class1OriginAssocEnd> <!-- assoc starts -->
            <Class2 oim:id="_2" oim:seqno="1" label="A"
                        name="Alpha" Attribute2="..."/>
            <Class2 oim:id="_3" oim:seqno="2" oim:label="B"
                        name="Beta" Attribute2="..."/>
      </Class1OriginAssocEnd> <!-- assoc ends -->
</Class1>

If an association name is not specified, the name is generated using the following rule:

OriginClassName + OriginAssociationEndName

Given this rule, the association in the preceding example is named <Class1OriginAssocEnd>.
