Re: [ontolog-forum] Defining UML in Common Logic

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@xxxxxxxxx>]

My view on this is that UML diagrams should be viewed as an _expression_ of a model/process etc.  Many people used to get confused when they saw tools where they could model a UML CVD and have it write out java stub code.  They interpreted this to be that some machine translated the UML into Java.  The truth is that there is a model behind the UML that gets used.  UML is only one of many ways to represent logic or models.

I am a big fan of MVC as an architectural pattern!

Having said this, the approach of OMG’s XMI is something I found a bit cumbersome to work with.
