I guess i am a zealot. Just trying not to show it. LOL
from http://www.uml.org/
The Unified Modeling Language™ - UML - is OMG's most-used specification,
and the way the world models not only application structure, behavior,
and architecture, but also business process and data structure.

I'm not a zealot of UML and I'm not using it for the moment. But I think it's a
good way to ease understanding between people, even not techies.
In fact, Neogia http://www.nereide.biz/ is build this way partially. They write
UML graphs with Poseidon http://gentleware.com/index.php and they use a
technology that they created with Code Lutin http://www.codelutin.com/ to
generate files (every types ASA there is generator to do it). They wrote enough
generators to ease 70% of the work on Neogia side (Neogia is using OFBiz) they
claim.

Parkinson's law, though is about work expanding to meet the resources.
a lesser known one is the way to win an argument is to speak in an area
that the others can not comprehend so they will not show their ignorance
by speaking against it.
Most of these modeling proposition, are the same, unless you are a
zealot about it.
which boils down to good luck.
LOL.

I believe that was the Idea behind UML (unified Modeling Language)
http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/uml.htm
It really never got accepted. .
I think this aims to be much more specific than UML, which is used for
all kinds of things. It describes services, and how they interact,
rather than database tables or objects, or other low level things of
that nature. Perhaps it has a shot at working if it doesn't try to be
everything to everyone.
Some healthy skepticism is in order, but the idea is interesting. I
would love to offload the design of these processes to my boss, and
let a computer worry about translating them into something runnable
(rather than sitting down and doing it myself:-). But perhaps that's
just a dream, and in reality the system doesn't work out that well, or
requires an army of people to implement.
Anyway, just sort of curious what others thought.
