Re: "UML Class
diagrams may be a generated artifact..."
URL Integration's
Data Modeler could for one. I've been told there are also plenty of
business-rules tools out there that could do the same. I know Scott's had great
sucess with using UML directly in a working group setting, but not all working
groups are going to have a facilitator of Scott's caliber. We need to keep the
door open to other methods and tools while stressing the use of UML as the final
representation.
Re: "UML Class
diagrams...are not necessarily the instrument used to determine the data and
relationships"
The alternative
would be whatever the business tool used. Data Modeler has its
visualization method. Other tools would have their own. It's just a
simpler means of getting to the same point that Scott gets to directly in
UML. Would it be better to say "are not necessarily the
initial instrument used to determine the data and
relationships"?

[legalxml-intj-exmndr] Review of Tom's Section 2 Draft
Tom
and fellow subcommittee members:
I've just had a first look at Tom's
draft of Section 2. I think it's a good start, with section headers for the
appropriate stuff.
I have one substantive comment. Tom, on lines
135-138, you suggest that "UML Class diagrams may be a generated artifact..."
My question is, generated from what?
Also, if "UML Class diagrams...are
not necessarily the instrument used to determine the data and
relationships"...what alternative instrument would you
suggest?
Thanks.
