Diagram definition and diagram interchange are separate specifications from the usual XMI. You can find them here: http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/1.0/ .

That's the only way to transfer diagrams between tools. If that's not what you asked for, please clarify your question. – Jim L. Jun 02 '15 at 12:58

You cannot represent diagrams in normal XMI. You need to look at those links. – Jim L. Jun 02 '15 at 13:06

Just adding my 2 cent: XMI has been defined by OMG which is a consortium of companies. Though one might think that it is some kind of standard it actually lets lots of freedom to tool vendors implementing their own flavor of XMI. And as can be seen in practice each vendor took that freedom so model exchange is something non-trivial.
