Chapter 2 Conceptual Data Model Basics

CDM extended model definitions

An extended model definition allows you to expand object definitions and complement the generation targets and commands. Extended model definitions are created and saved in files with the XEM extension. You can create or attach one or several extended model definitions to a model.

Extended model definitions may contain:

• Extended attributes for applicable objects in order to further define their properties

Stereotypes to define extended dependencies established between model objects

For more information on extended dependencies, see CDM extended dependencies.

• Generation targets and commands to complement the generation of an object model, or to perform an extended generation

For more information on extended model definitions, see chapter Extended Model Definitions Reference Guide in the Advanced User Documentation.
