Case Study: Geoscience Australia and CSIRO achieve GeoSciML interoperability with Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect

Geoscience Australia And Csiro Developing The Geosciml Interoperability Standard With Enterprise Architect

Geoscience Australia, working with CSIRO, needed a better way to develop and share complex geoscience information models across organizations and standards-based projects. They chose Sparx Systems’ Enterprise Architect to support the creation of the GeoSciML interoperability standard, with a particular need for UML 2.0 compliance, intuitive usability, and open-standard import/export capabilities.

Sparx Systems’ Enterprise Architect provided the modeling, configuration management, XMI exchange, and Subversion integration needed to build and collaborate on large models such as GeoSciML and HollowWorld. The result was a rigorous, affordable platform that enabled geographically distributed teams to work concurrently, broadened access to professional UML modeling across the organization, and supported the wider adoption of standards-based geoscience data sharing with better interoperability, productivity, and compliance.
