Inteca OpenAPI Plug-in for Enterprise Architect

One of the main elements of architecture that are managed are the models of services provided in the organisation. Components and services are designed in UML language in a uniform way, regardless of the target implementation method (e.g. REST or SOAP). The designer focuses on understanding the domain model and designing services in a way that will give the greatest benefit and convenience to consumers. Finished models are converted to executable specifications (WSDL, XSD, OpenAPI/Swagger) using Inteca Plug-ins. Then it can be tested in the API portal. This approach combines the features of modern, agile API design and implementation with elements of architectural governance required by large organisations, where there are a number of dependencies between many projects, components and suppliers. The key here is good dependency management and unified modelling method. OpenAPI Plugin allows to generate OpenAPI 2.0/Swaggerspecifications from UML model.

• Generating OpenAPI 2.0 / Swagger specifications based on EA models
• Built-in UML / Swagger type mapping with customized configuration
• API call example editor based on the UML modelApproximately 75 Words

Model Guardian

Take Control of Enterprise Architect
Model Guardian, the Framework & Model Management System, makes the process of framework development and model synchronization as easy as possible.

Framework Management
Model Guardian provides a user interface that intuitively guides you through the process of framework development, including toolboxes, quicklinks and a lot more. It even manages framework versions, including automatic archival and retrieval processing.

Model Management
Models are synchronized with the latest version of the framework, keeping them from becoming obsolete. Models created without Model Guardian can be synchronized with and brought under framework management. Broad, sweeping changes to models can be made, like changing a stereotype of all elements having that stereotype.

Yours or Ours
With Model Guardian, you can build your own frameworks or start with one of ours, e.g., the (EA) Enterprise Architecture Modeling Framework, and modify it to fit your environment.

For more information, go to: www.ModelGuardian.com.

Model Expert

Model Expert™ (part of eaTeamWorks™) is the model validation tool for Enterprise Architect, delivering model insights, quality and consistency for every model, every modelling language, and every MDG (or none).

Enterprise Architect allows all kinds of modelling, and with lots of people modelling it's easy for errors to creep in. With Model Expert you can create reference metamodels to define what best practice modelling looks like for your organisation, and then apply those standards to all your modelling.

For existing modelling, use Model Expert to easily find and fix problems and inconsistencies such as duplicate elements and empty diagrams. OR define exactly what your models should contain and validate against your standards - fixing errors such as wrong element or connector types, missing connectors and missing attributes, or TVs.

Or apply those standards from the start, to guide modellers into Right-First-Time modelling.

• Define best practice modelling standards and review models against them. It's easy to bring existing models up to standard.
• Deliver right-first-time modelling, with bespoke Help links, tailored UIs for element properties, and real time prompts for allowed and/or required element and connector types, element fields and tagged values.
• Apply package level control - define appropriate standards for different parts of your model and choose how to apply them (enforce or inform).
• Includes free for life model quality dashboard and instant metamodel views.

Bonus feature: define and display derived (multi-hop) relationships in relationship matrices and diagrams.
