The groups’ initial focus is on model and diagrams interchange between UML®, OMG SysML™, and Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM) -capable tools. Groups comprise end users, tool vendors and experts in the UML and XMI® standards.

• Cameo DataHub - data bridge enabling the import/export, automatic synchronization and creation of references between CATIA No Magic products Cameo™ Requirements+, MagicDraw and the other vendors tools such as Rational® DOORS®, Rational® RequisitePro®, and CSV files.
