Introduct|on


ln Lhls paper, we propose a gulde for comparlng Lhe L8wln r9 and L8/SLudlo v9.3
modellng Lools, based on boLh Lool and pro[ecL requlremenLs. 1he comparlson covers
only a llmlLed seL of key feaLures LhaL are elLher frequenLly used, or of lmporLance ln
dlfferenL modellng pro[ecLs such as enLerprlse daLa modellng, daLa governance and
masLer daLa managemenL.

8oLh Lools have a rlch seL of feaLures. 1hls gulde may be used as a LemplaLe LhaL can be
reflned and expanded Lo creaLe a comprehenslve comparlson of L8wln r9 and L8/SLudlo

CapablllLles vs. ro[ecL orLfollo secLlon

! lf no Lool emerges as a clear cholce, use a scorlng meLhod Lo make a declslon:
" rovlde a score and welghL for each relevanL feaLure LhaL meeLs Lhe Lool

" rovlde a score and welghL for each pro[ecL, and come up wlLh a LoLal
