Ok, ok... I don't want to be boring... but "to realize" in UML is a verb not
used just for the predefined steretype <<realize>> in use case.. in general
should be used everytime you want to get inside something and start watching
at the internal implementation... think of Jackobson... "an interface (not a
GUI he refers to) is realized by the methods of the hidden class"...
Sorry for the accademy.

I agree with you.. let's hope someone from Rational is reading us...
One of the nicest and more useful concept in RUP is the tracebility... but I
cannot see it inside Rose... for example think of Business Modelling: how
can I trace that a particular system use case helps a particular activity in
a business activity diagram?
You can immagine it... with an hyperlink. In short there's not a real link
in the model itself.

Sure it helps... debating always helps
Thanks Matt.
