These Information Framework (SID) Release 9.5 Model Files are fully compatible with the Information Framework Release 9.5 contained in the Getting Started Pack and in the Domain Addenda Pack.

The Information Framework (SID) UML model is currently modeled using IBM's Rational Software Modeler product. For the past couple of Frameworx releases, (successor of the former well-known NGOSS), including Release 9.0 the Information Framework UML models have been provided, on a best effort basis, as a non-normative addition to the primary TM Forum documents in the GB922 guide book series. As such the Information Framework UML models are distributed in various file formats for use in any tool which is capable of loading UML 2.0 or XMI files. For those who do not have Rational Software Modeler, the past couple of releases, including Release 8.0, also provide both various XMI, XSD, and web-based browsable versions of the Information Framework UML model.

The model files, the XMI versions as well as the web-based versions of the SID model, are distributed as “ZIP” files. The SID models, with the exception of separate XSDs for each domain, are provided in a single file, rather than a separate folder for each domain and separate file for each ABE, as was the case in previous releases of the SID.

Importing SID 9.5 RSM model and profiles using the SID RSM UML model zip file:

1. Start RSM and create a new workspace
2. Create a new model project for the SID model (don’t create a model)
3. Create a new model project for the SID profiles (don’t create a model)
4. Use Windows/Preferences/Modeling/PathMaps to create a path map that references the folder that contains the SID profiles created in step 3
5. Unzip the RSM UML model zip file into a folder of your choice, but NOT into the workspace just created
6. Import the SID emx file into the project folder for the SID model 
7. Import the SID profiles files into the project folder for the SID profiles
8. You are ready to start using the SID!
