Mapping Model Elements to UML Objects
« on: August 18, 2014, 01:42:09 am »
From this location:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/downloads/whitepapers/EAReviewersGuide.pdf

Addressing this statement:
Enterprise Architect’s built-in Data Modeling profile extends the UML to provide an intuitive mapping from the database concepts of tables and relationships onto the UML concepts of classes and associations. These extensions model database keys, triggers, constraints, RI and other relational database features. Enterprise Architect also supports Entity-Relationship (ER) notation.

My question:
In consideration of “mapping from the database concepts of tables and relationships”, onto classes and associations, will EA also map SysML elements and associations?

Hi,

as far as I know:

EA has the ability to map UML elements like classes to logical data models / ERDs. This you can do by:
- Dependencies
- Writing your own transformation
  (This you may do with the EA Model Transformation Framework)

Don't think there is a lot out of the box.
