ArtefactConversion

Follows this simple procedure to add a conversion step:

• 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
