Hi Anthony,
having tried to figure out how to use UML, RUP and Rose for some time now,
it strikes me, 1) how well UML can be used to model and describe things in a
non-ambiguous way, and 2) how easy any trained person will be able to
understand a system, which is described in UML.
We (the Rose users) are more or less trained in UML, so why isn't the
documentation (the user manual) for Rose issued as UML?
Just a thought,
Lars Hauschultz.
P.S. I have always dreamt of becoming an actor instead of just a user :-)

Subject: RE: (ROSE) Use Cases for Rose itself?
I started one too and will send it as a separate attachment.
I believe every tool we have should include a use case model. This new
ContentStudio, for example. W/ a good use case model, I'd see exactly what
it does and who it does it for.
One interesting challenge, though is picking the actors. For Rose, I picked
actors that match the workers in RUP. Thus it isn't really a generic Use
Case diagram for Rose, it is a diagram for Rose ala RUP.
RUP is the Business Model, and Rose is simply a tool to help automate the
business of RUP.
I will eventually get to modelling RUP as well, and it will show where Rose
and other tools can be helpful. Then each tool would have a use case
diagram showing how it can be used to help it's actors.
It isn't hard to do this. Just use the tool mentors to guide your work.
If you use the definition I use for use cases, this becomes a snap. A
(concrete) use case represents an actors goal.
The tool mentors already sound like goals. After that, it's simply a matter
of drawing and packaging.
I would include my just started example here, but I hear it's not a good
idea to attach big documents to emails in these forums, so you'll have to
email me if you want to see it.
Again it is incomplete.
