Design Notation

I use an object design notation that is similar to UML (see [Rational-1 http://www.rational.com/uml/]), but it has some variations that are improvements, additions, or legacies from earlier notations. I also consider the work by Kilov and Ross on information modeling [Kilov+R 94] to be very useful and important. Although [Kilov+R 94] does not require a specific visual notation, they do suggest one, which I merged into my notation.

The following describe my notation’s differences from UML. If something is not mentioned it should be assumed that the UML notation is the correct notation.
