Hi,
I'm about to embark on a OO design for a large application. I'm
currently on the lookout for any standards for documenting classes and their
relationships. In particular methods of modeling the system graphicly.
Does anyone know of any useful places to look for such standards?
Thanks in advance!

A graphical design notation from Semaphore Training, Inc. (North Andover, MA??). One advantage of this notation is that it can document runtime polymorphism. 2. A graphical design notation discussed in the article, "The Object-Oriented Structured Design Notation for Software Design Representation," by A. Wasserman, P. Pircher, and R. Muller; in *Computer*, March 1990, pp. 50-63. One advantage of this notation is that it can document asynchronous processes. Both these notations support the usual concepts of objects, message passing and class inheritance. Also, I believe that CASE tools are being developed to support both these notations.
