With the release of Enterprise Architect 9.3, Build 931, Sparx Systems announced the official release of its UML profile for modeling, importing and exporting ArcGIS geodatabase schemas. MDG Technology for ArcGIS is designed to enchance the work of analysyts and architects who implement geospatial databases using Esri's ArcGIS platform.

The profile, with its associated tools for forward and reverse engineering ArcGIS schemas, also helps to bridge the gap between the important work of spatial architects and that of other architects in the enterprise. By providing a common-language model of the geodatabase design using UML, data models in use by the wider enterprise can be directly linked to concepts implemented by spatial experts.

MDG Technology for ArcGIS is immediately available to users of Enterprise Architect 9.3, Build 931 across all editions.
