Schema Generation Tool

Version 2.5, released in July 2008, adopts naming rules and content requirements used by the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) logical model version 2.0. The design of the GDM was adapted to take advantage of the NIEM core, creating a geospatial domain for NIEM that can be integrated into the NIEM logical model in future releases. Version 2.5 is now available for download in the following formats:

• Enterprise Architect UML Model [Zip Archive, 9.9MB]
  
• HTML Report of EA UML Model [Zip Archive, 30MB]

Schema Generation Tool

The DHS Geospatial Management Office has deployed an online schema generation tool to extract custom views of the GDM. ESRI users can now export custom ArcXML schemas and use ArcCatalog to produce GIS-ready geodatabases.
