Source links

Currently there are a number of source files needed to get a complete view of the AAI schema information:

• .xsd file in correct version: https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=aai/schema-service.git;a=tree;f=aai-schema/src/main/resources/onap/aai_schema;hb=d4f97e683cb971ceb7107beaaca628926156a4f6
• DB edge rules (.json) in correct version: https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=aai/schema-service.git;a=tree;f=aai-schema/src/main/resources/onap/dbedgerules;hb=3501e74711a2e91ce84d0b4cbc989738f96e0891
• Possibly also traversal information (.json): https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=aai/traversal.git;a=tree;f=aai-traversal/src/main/resources/schema/onap/query;hb=600abffda37ce3aba83024162dc7178d90b84c26

Auto-generated documentation of the AAI schema is the most complete at the moment (created by an OpenAPI/Swagger-like process).

• Source HTML file: https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/16351755/aai_swagger_v16.html?api=v2
  • Stored here: AAI REST API Documentation - Dublin
• Originals stored in NEXUS:
  
  • https://nexus.onap.org/service/local/repositories/releases/archive/org/onap/aai/schema-service/aai-schema/1.0.6/aai-schema-1.0.6.jar/!/onap/aai_swagger_html/aai_swagger_v16.html
  • https://nexus.onap.org/service/local/repositories/releases/archive/org/onap/aai/schema-service/aai-schema/1.5.0/aai-schema-1.5.0.jar/!/onap/aai_swagger_html/aai_swagger_v16.html

 Problems encountered when working with the AAI model structure:

• AAI uses RelationshipList as a generic linking class everywhere in the model – needs to be collapsed into the actual links
• AAI uses collection classes (ex. Pnfs as a collection for Pnf) that add no information – need to be filtered out

Ideas regarding how to do the reverse-engineering with a minimum of manual rework of the model (NOTE: most of these are still TODO):

• Convert XSD directly to UML – see Step-by-step to generate Papyrus UML model from XSD file. This method is inspired by these discussion threads:
  • https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1068724/
  • https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/160294/
• Generate UML model from OpenAPI (a.k.a. Swagger) YAML file, see https://github.com/opendata-for-all/wapiml and https://modeling-languages.com/openapi-to-uml/
• Generate UML model from JSON schema documents, see https://github.com/SOM-Research/jsonSchema-to-uml

• Copy metadata in the .xsd file to XML tags that can be parsed by Ecore

  • Combine the source files into a single XSD (XML schema file) using an XSLT script?
• Generate UML from OXM file, e.g. by model-browser script
