The Architect Edition is specially packaged to provide the optimal price and technical features necessary for architects that do not need the full capabilities of the Enterprise Edition. This edition combines the common functionality of the Standard Edition together with some powerful options from the Enterprise Edition. These include: advanced modeling facilitations and analysis, reverse engineering and code generation for DDL, WSDL, CORBA IDL and XML. Architects have less need for IDE integrations as well as Java and C++ code engineering, so these capabilities are not included.

The Enterprise Edition allows model transformations both ways: from Platform Independent Model (PIM) to Platform Specific Model (PSM) and from PSM to PIM. With model transformations, you can produce many specific models, such as XML Schema, DDL, or your customized specific model from a generic one.
