Chapter 2 Introducing PowerDesigner
Developers will write technical specifications in an RQM, and will model the application, defining object structures and behaviors, and Object/Relational mappings.
You will use an Object-Oriented Model (OOM), which uses standard UML diagrams and notation to represent your objects and their interactions. It can be reverse-engineered from, and used to generate code for Java, .NET and many other languages. Close integration with your BPM, CDM, and PDM can greatly simplify the maintenance and development of your system.
You may also use an XML Model (XSM) to graphically model the complex structure of an XML file. Its diagram and tree views give you a global and schematic view of all the document elements, and this type of model can be used to generate DTDs, and XSDs directly from a PDM or OOM.
