Development Approach

Through PM-ISE funding, SEARCH built a NIEM-UML tool through extending available open source platforms with the NIEM profile. For the tool, SEARCH chose the Eclipse Software Development Kit as the development platform, GITHUB as the development environment, and the Papyrus Component of the Model Development Tool subproject. Further information on Eclipse, Papyrus, and GITHUB can be found at:

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/ http://www.eclipse.org/papyrus/ http://www.eclispse.org/GITHUB.

An understanding of Eclipse is helpful, but not required; however, familiarity with Papyrus is recommended if you would like to integrate other aspects of a UML model with your NIEM model. Please note that this wiki only addresses the NIEM UML profile in Papyrus. Papyrus tutorials and user documentation can be found at http://www.eclipse.org/papyrus/usersCorner/usersCornerIndex.php.
