Export ArcGIS XML Workspace
When you have modeled your Geodatabase Workspace XML Document (containing the ArcGIS schema), you can export it to an external directory (using the Publish Model Package facility), from which you can then import it to the Esri ArcCatalog.
Access Click on an ArcGIS stereotyped package (your ArcGIS Workspace Package) in the Project Browser, then select either:
Extensions | Publish | ArcGIS
Extensions | ArcGIS | Export to ArcGIS Workspace XML
Project | Model Publisher
Project | Model Import/Export | Export Package to XMI File: Publish, or
Right-click | Import/Export | Export Package to XMI: Publish
Export the Workspace

Notes
| • | The MDG Technology for ArcGIS is available in the Professional, Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, System Engineering and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect |
| • | In the Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, System Engineering and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect, if security is enabled you must have Export XMI permission to export to XML |
| • | Before exporting your model to an ArcGIS schema, you must define at least one Spatial Reference element; Spatial Reference elements are referred to by other schema elements via a dynamically linked Tagged Value, named SpatialReference |
| • | The DefaultSpatialReference tag on an ArcGIS package is used to specify a Spatial Reference that can be applied to all Feature Datasets and Feature Classes in the workspace; therefore, you do not need to apply a Spatial Reference element to each Feature Dataset or Feature Class |
| • | If you do not reference a Spatial Reference Class from any Feature Dataset or Feature Class in your ArcGIS model, Enterprise Architect by default will generate an XML schema with Unknown type of Spatial Reference for these elements |
