Each year over 16,000 students and professionals from the GIS community attend the conference.

This year Sparx Systems staff are looking forward to demonstrating its solutions for geodatabase design with UML (Booth #2440).

Sparx Systems Senior Analyst, Ben Constable will be presenting at a session titled "Model and Generate your Geodatabase Schema with UML," which will focus on:

• Modeling geodatabases in UML for export to ArcCatalog.
• Reverse engineering existing databases.
• Achieving tracability to other analysis and design tools.
• Communicating geodatabase designs.

Since joining the company in 2003, Ben has been actively involved in developing domain-based profiles for Enterprise Architect. In this capacity, he continues to contribute to the development of Enterprise Architect's UML profile for designing ArcGIS geodatabases.

Session details:

Modeling ArcGIS Geodatabases with Enterprise Architect 12

Are you getting started with ArcGIS geodatabase design and wondering how UML can help?
Have you worked with ArcGIS for years and want a better way to design and share schemas?

We'll show you how to design, validate and generate a simple geodatabase from the ground up.

In this webinar you will learn how to:

Model a geodatabase schema using UML and Enterprise Architect 12

Check the semantics of your model with a powerful validation tool

Implement your design using ArcCatalog

The proliferation of location based services in banking, finance, energy, health, entertainment and many other industries, makes geographic data more valuable than ever! To store and manage geographic data, many organizations rely on Esri's ArcGIS geodatabase.

How can you use state-of-the-art modeling tools to design and document these geodatabases? How do you link and trace existing geodatabases with other parts of your corporate model? Senior Analyst at Sparx Systems, Ben Constable, will answer these questions and demonstrate the design of an ArcGIS geodatabase in Enterprise Architect.

Two live sessions will be conducted to accommodate attendees in different time zones on the 25th and 26th of February.
