Notes

•The MDG Technology for GML is available in the Professional, Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, System Engineering and Ultimate editions of Enterprise Architect
•A <<CodeList>> stereotyped Class with the tag asDictionary set to true will be exported as a separate XML file to the directory specified in the Directory field, with the filename CodeList_<classname>.xml  (where <classname> is the name of the <<CodeList>> stereotyped Class)
•Using the configurable file GMLStereotypes.xml in the Sparx Systems > EA > Config > GML folder, you can specify aliases for the standard GML stereotypes; the GML Application Schema Generator will also consider these aliases during Schema generation
