RE: Creating / editing UML diagrams

I did the DCAT2 UML using Enterprise Architect.
For DCAT3 it has been re-drawn, and is now an SVG file – I don’t recall what application was used though (it wasn’t me that re-drew)
Dunno about DCAT-AP.

Thanks for all the suggestions and the useful links people have provided.

I was aware of diagrams.net<http://diagrams.net> but hadn't previously seen the library Maria has produced, and PlantUML does look useful too. However, neither seem to support any of the file formats that DCAT-AP supply (the JSON-LD is parsed, but not rendered correctly). Unless there's something obvious I'm missing (?) it looks like I am going to need to recreate the UML diagram from scratch.

Dear list,

This might be a naïve question...

I'd like to edit the DCAT-AP UML diagram (https://github.com/SEMICeu/DCAT-AP/blob/master/releases/2.1.0/dcat-ap_2.1.0.png). Given they have an eap file in their repo, it looks like they used Sparx to originally create their diagrams. Is there an open source alternative? Otherwise, they also have SVG, and various other standard LOD file types, if there's software which can create UML from any of these?

Best,
Chris
