- SID 12.0 model files - SID version 12 was developed using IBM Rational Software Modeler V8.0 (RSM), as of the release of SID 12 we moved to use IBM Rational Software Architect V8.5 (RSA), as a result we released the model files of V12 in two versions, one generated by RSM (the original version, in case there were errors in the migration of the model to RSA) and one generated by RSA.
Note: IBM tools do not export the diagrams in XMI or UML 2.0 formats. The diagrams can be found in the emx file (in the project archive) and can be viewed in the HTML browser.- SID model files generated by RSM
