Getting Started

The Value Delivery Modeling Language (VDML) allows you to create VDML models with Enterprise Architect.

This definition of VDML is derived from the Object Mangement Group (OMG) Value Delivery Modeling Language (VDML) Specification (version 1.0, October 2015):

Selecting the Perspective

Enterprise Architect partitions the tool's extensive features into Perspectives, which ensures that you can focus on a specific task and work with the tools you need without the distraction of other features. To work with the Value Delivery Modeling Language features you first need to select this Perspective:

<perspective name> > Business Modeling > VDML

Setting the Perspective ensures that the Value Delivery Modeling Language diagrams, their tool boxes and other features of the Perspective will be available by default.
