Questions in my mind are:

1) What format is the UML model described in?

2) Is it a standard format?

3) Is it XML?

If the answers to the (2) is YES then we could potentialy define a 
content cataloging binding that will automatically generate ebRIM 
metadata from UML model upon submission. If the answer to (3) is YES 
then content cataloging binding would require us to specify and XSLT 
syle sheet.

If the answer to (2) is NO then the resolution you prpose is correct and 
it will be the submitters responsibility to submit ebRIM metadata along 
with UML model.
