Follows this simple procedure to add a conversion step:
See [[HowToAddAConverter]].
 
* Create a conversion step page in this package: [[Artefact:Step/org/oomodels/wiki/steps/conversion]] You can simply cut&paste an existing conversion step.
* Edit the properties of that conversion step:
** ''SourceType'': the oomodels page describing the source format of your conversion
** ''TargetType'': the oomodels page describing the target format of your conversion
** ''ConverterId'': the oomodels page describing the converter used for the conversion. See [[:Category:OOModels Format Converter]].
** Depending on the converter you choose:
*** XSLT Converter
**** ''Template'': the oomodels page containing a XSL stylesheet
*** Identity Converter
**** no additional properties
*** OOGenerator Converter
**** ''Template'': the oomodels page containing a OOGenerator template
 
If your conversion is based on an existing converter, you're done. Otherwise
* add a [[:Category:OOModels Format Converter]] page to describe the converter
* add the converter software
** to the wiki, by talking to us - either we review the software and incorporate into the oomodels download service, or, alternatively, we delegate conversion requests via SOAP to an online service you provide yourself (hint: we need contributors for oomodels anytime, e.g. someone adding the SOAP interface)
** to the eclipse plugin, by just adding your software as a plugin and announcing it via an extension point
