Landon,
I missed your previous post. I'm not sure if you are modeling GIS Objects or a relational database but am guessing you are modeling GIS objects. Since I missed the earlier post(s). Is there a reason why traditional OO diagrams such as UML Class diagrams won't work for the GIS data you are modeling?

I decided to move forward with a graphical approach. I started building diagrams to document my GIS data model for the Public Land Survey System in the United States. I am drawing these diagrams in a CAD program. When I get things ironed out I hope to release the following items to the GIS community: - My completed GIS data model in DXF format that can be used as an example or template for other models. - A set of CAD "blocks" that can be used to build similar diagrams. If I like how things come together with the diagrams, I might try converting the diagrams to SVG. The diagrams would be much prettier in SVG, but I am quicker with CAD than I am with Inkscape, and I want to get a prototype completed quickly. This will make a lot more sense when you get to see the example diagrams. I welcome any collaboration on this effort. If there is interest, I could move this discussion to the Standards mailing list. It would be great to get input from interested parties now, while the diagrams are still taking shape.
