Chapter 11 PowerDesigner File Format Specification
XML files contain objects, attributes and collections usually declared with a begin and an end markup; referenced objects have single markup for begin and end as shown in table below.
The difference between a begin and an end markup is that the end markup has a slash (/) after the character <.
The following markups are used in PowerDesigner XML files:
| Begin markup | End markup |
Object |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| <c:collection> | </c:collection> | Collection | A collection of objects linked to another object. You can use the PowerDesigner metamodel to visualize the collections of an object. For example <c:Children> |
| <o:object> | </o:object> | Object | An object that you can create in PowerDesigner. For example <o:Model> |
| <o:object/> | — | Referenced object | When an object is already defined in the file, a reference is created the next time it is browsed in the XML file. For example <o:Class Ref= "xyz"/> |
| <a:attribute> | </a:attribute> | Attribute | An object is made up of a number of attributes each of which you can modify independently. For example <a:ObjectID> |
