Using the Technologies Panel

The facilities provided by the 'Technologies' panel depend on which Technologies you have installed and which of those you have enabled (using the 'Manage' option on the 'Technology' panel of the Configure Ribbon). Some of the common Technologies you might access through this panel are outlined here.

Available Facilities

Facility	Description	See also
Publish	Display a menu of options for Publishing (exporting) Enterprise Architect model information in a specific format for consumption by other tools or processes. A wide range of output formats is supported, and you can further tailor the output by including or excluding diagram information, Enterprise Architect specific extensions and so on. You would tailor your published file for the capabilities of the tool or process expected to consume it. The 'Normative XMI 2.4.2' option provides a quick means of exporting model information in the latest UML/XMI combination with no Enterprise Architect extension information or diagram information. This format is most useful for standards development and for base interoperability with other UML based tools. Note that you should not use this menu to Publish model information for consumption by other users of Enterprise Architect. For that purpose, use the options in the 'Model Exchange' panel.
Import	Display a menu of options for importing XMI/XML from a variety of formats. ArcGIS, EMX, Rhapsody, OWL/RDF, BPMN 2.0 and MDZIP are specifically supported, but a wide range of other tools' XML output can be imported into Enterprise Architect using the 'Other Tools/Formats' menu option.
ArcGIS	Provides access to facilities that help you create ArcGIS models; the ArcGIS system supports the development and management of geodatabases.	Geodatabase Design for ArcGIS
ArchiMate2	Provides access to the facilities of the MDG Technology for ArchiMate 2, one of the business modeling tools integrated with Enterprise Architect. It offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, which you can use to describe, analyze and visualize clearly the relationships between business domains.	ArchiMate
ODM	Provides access to the facilities of the MDG Technology for the Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM), the implementation of the Object Management Group's ODM for Enterprise Architect. It provides ontology modeling capabilities within Enterprise Architect, enabling you to develop large-scale ontologies within the fully-integrated modeling environment, for your project domain.	MDG Technology for ODM
GML	Provides access to the facilities of the MDG Technology for Geography Markup Language (GML) application schemas, which integrates the Open Geospatial Consortium's GML 3.3 with Enterprise Architect, providing an XML grammar for geographical feature modeling capabilities.	MDG Technology For GML
NIEM	Provides access to the facilities of the MDG Technology for National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), which provides a common framework that is used to define how information can be shared between systems, government agencies and organizations.	NIEM
NIEM 3.0	Provides access to the facilities of the MDG Technology for National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) 3.0.	NIEM 3.0
