This presentation describes a framework for creating
domain models using four colors to stereotype the entities (or classes
for those that prefer the UML modeling notation) into five categories.
This speeds up the analysis modeling process, produces models that are
easy to review and critique, and provides a consistent way of thinking
about items of interest to the business. The use of color adds to the
information content of the model and provides an excellent mechanism
for visual discrimination of the concepts.
The presentation begins with a brief description of the five stereotype entities, followed by an example, tips for identifying those entities, typical attributes in each entity, and concludes with a stereotyped way the stereotype entities fit together.
To make the concepts concrete, one of the included example models is of this year’s DAMA International Symposium & Wilshire Meta-Data Conference!
After the session, attendees will be able to:
