Title: Enterprise Information Model MDG - How do you use it?
Post by: Sunshine on September 25, 2019, 01:48:54 pm: I noticed there is an MDG called Enterprise Information Models in V15 Sparx EA and its based on the work by David C. Hay. It is describes as such

This technology provides model templates for modeling the information of an Enterprise based on the work of David C. Hay.
Trouble is as much as I've tried I can't find out how to use it. I've gone through all the wizards, diagrams etc and done various searches on the help.
I've even looked at the XML file defining it which has the following code in it.
Code: [Select]
... <ModelTemplates> <Model name="Parties" description="" location="ei1.0-parties.xml" default="yes" customizable="false" icon="31" filter="Simple" /> <Model name="Party Relationships" description="" location="ei1.0-party-relationships.xml" default="yes" customizable="false" icon="31" filter="Simple" /> <Model name="Party Identifiers and Names" description="" location="ei1.0-party-identifiers-and-names.xml" default="yes" customizable="false" icon="31" filter="Simple" /> <Model name="Geographic Locations" description="" location="ei1.0-geographic-locations.xml" default="yes" customizable="false" icon="31" filter="Simple" /> </ModelTemplates>However I haven't been able to see these in the model patterns/wizard etc.
Any ideas how to users can create these model templates?

I resorted to importing those into the model using XMI import but it should really be visible via the UI like others.
