I have been using rational rose data modeler to create "logical ERD" in
object model.   

Questions:

1.  Can the object model display the "key" (i.e. Part of Object Identity)
field?
    (I know it can be displayed in data model.) 

2.  I have been using Association for non-identifying relationship and
Aggregation by Value for identifying relationship.  Is this correct?  Does
it cover all the relationships in data model?

3.  For Association relationship, I should not add "foreign key" in the
related Class because when transforming to data model, the foreign key will
be added automatically.

e.g. 

INDUSTRY Class
        attributes: Industry_Code (key), Industry_Title

ITEM Class
        attributes: Item_Code (key), Item_Price

And one INDUSTRY maps to many ITEM; Industry_Code will be added to ITEM
class as foreign key in data model.

Also, I'd appreciate it if you have other valuable experiences about the
tool to share.

Thanks.
