What do you mean by XMI?
XMI - XML Metadata Interchange - like XML is information independent
format. XML consists from tags, attributes etc; XMI - from class
instances and object's properties values. Structure of XML docement
may be defined by schema, XMI document _requires_ its metamodel. UML
is just a metamodel for data intrchange in XMI format, another
wellknown example is UML DI - metamodel for UML diagram
interchange. ;-)
So, if you want to represent Ada program as XMI document you need
first to have Ada language metamodel. Development of such metamodel is
a very complex task, but this metamodel may be reused in many tools
from IDE syntax highliter and semantic navigation to MDA
transformations.
