Notes
- The MDG Technology for GML is available in the Professional, Corporate, Unified and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect
- A «CodeList» stereotyped Class with the tag 'asDictionary' set to True will be exported as a separate XML file to the directory specified in the 'Directory' field, with the filename CodeList_<classname>.xml (where <classname> is the name of the «CodeList» stereotyped Class)
- Using the configurable file GMLStereotypes.xml in the Sparx Systems > EA > Config > GML folder, you can specify aliases for the standard GML stereotypes; the GML Application Schema Generator will also consider these aliases during Schema generation
- Association Class is specific to GML 3.3; when generating GML 3.2.1 Application Schema, the Association and Class of an Association Class are treated as separate entities
