XMI

XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) is a standardized format used to exchange and store models of software systems, particularly those created with modeling tools like UML (Unified Modeling Language). It represents the design, structure, and relationships of software components in a clear, structured way using XML, which is a widely recognized format for data sharing. This allows different tools, programs, and teams to collaborate more easily by sharing detailed models without losing information or needing to convert between incompatible formats. Essentially, XMI helps ensure consistency and interoperability in software design and development.
