METIS – an Open Toolkit
METIS uses XML as its basic storage and exchange format. That means that other XML tools can read METIS models if they have access to METIS’s DTD (data type definition)
That also means that METIS can read and visualize non-METIS XML-documents and data if the corresponding DTD is known to METIS as a template
METIS is a Web-based tools where each object has its unique URI (http-address) and models can be stored on Web-servers and accessed directly over Internet or Intranets

METIS and Architecture Planning
METIS has developed a specific Template for this area, called ”IT Management”, ITM
METIS is extensively used for Enterprise Architecture Planning and Business and IT Strategy alignment
METIS is an Enterprise and Knowledge Modelling tool that can model any aspect of an Enterprise and visualize how these aspects are related

METIS and ADML
METIS’s meta modelling capabilities makes it simple to define a METIS meta-model that mirror the ADML DTD
METIS visual capabilities allow us to add semantic to the ADML constructs and apply symbols that make it easy to use and reflects corporate modeling flavours
The ADML model data will be stored in its own XML-files consistent with the ADML syntax, directly accessible for use of other tools (no export/import).
Vice versa, METIS can directly read ADML files generated from other tools and interpret and visualize the data as a METIS model.

Status on ADML support in METIS
We have already implemented an ADML template as a Proof-of-Concept.
We need to test out the template in real customer engagements and improve the semantic and symbolic representation
We plan to include the ADML domain in our domain library and integrate it into ITM and other METIS Templates
ADML XML will be supported by METIS as one of our “own” file formats.
