b. Click Browse next to the Model field, and select the STUDENT_INFO_SYSTEM.ldm logical<br />
data model file.<br />
c. Click Browse next to the Export to field, and then specify that the exported data model should<br />

4. On the Select the Options page, click Next. The data model is exported.<br />
5. Click Finish to save the exported data model and exit the <strong>Data</strong> Model Export wizard.<br />
The exported model can be found in your data design project, under the XML Schemas folder.<br />
Note:<br />
Since you are exporting to an XML file, the diagram included <strong>with</strong> this model is not<br />
exported.<br />
6.5.2 Importing a data model <strong>with</strong> the workbench<br />
Although the exported model is already in your workbench, let's practice importing models. IBM<br />
<strong>InfoSphere</strong> <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Architect</strong> can read information from a number of other data modeling tools, making it<br />
easy for you to further refine and improve your data models <strong>with</strong> the workbench.
