Domain Based Diagrams

Enterprise Architect supports a wide range of modeling languages, such as UML, SysML and BPMN, but in addition to the diagrams that are defined as part of these languages Enterprise Architect has a rich set of additional (extended) diagrams, allowing you to create diagrams including Mind Maps, User Interface diagrams and Data Modeling diagrams; there is even a general purpose Custom diagram. This allows other disciplines such as strategic thinkers, user experience designers and scientists to contribute to the models and to create a repository of articulated knowledge that has not been possible before.
