Unfortunately, although they claim to have a declarative model-representation language, it is not immediately obvious, when visiting their site, where this is defined.

"XMI is a way to save UML models in XML"
Therefore, XMI can be a way to save the class-and-association structure of Simile models in XML.
Therefore, XMI can be leveraged (along with MathML, GraphML, Dublin Core...) to provide a standards-rich language for Simile models, and save a lot of work in the process.

XSLT is used too transform XML documents into some other XML, HTML, or plain text.
XSugar enables one to define a single set of mapping rules between a non-XML and an XML format for the same information. The rule-set can then be used in either direction. This is a far superior approachh to requiring one to write two one-way transformations.
