The salient feature of ADEX is that it provides a meta-modeling capability. ADEX provides the facility to write rules to validate the models. Rules are written in a declarative language. Objects that violate the rules are flagged. A configurable diagrammer further augments the meta-modelling facility.
Modelers can choose symbols and connectors of choice to view and edit the model.
A comprehensive version management is provided to manage different configurations of models. Data in the repository can thus be logically grouped into components, which can be versioned. ADEX provides facilities to view the differences between versioned components and to merge them. The security features of ADEX allow the user to define new users, groups, passwords etc. Users and groups have specified read or write access to configurations or components.
