Articles on Unified Modeling Language (UML), Software Architecture and Data Modeling
This article presents the principles of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) component diagram. In the UML, a component diagram depicts how components are wired together to form larger components and or software systems. They are used to illustrate the structure of arbitrarily complex systems.

This is a comparison of NoSQL databases from the data modeling point of view. There are many NoSQL system families, namely, Key-Value stores, BigTable-style databases, Document databases, Full Text Search Engines and Graph databases. He explains that NoSQL data modeling is typically driven by application-specific access patterns, i.e. types of queries to be supported. NoSQL

StarUML is modeling software that runs on Windows with an open source license and supports the Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling notation. Based on UML version 1.4, StarUML allows using eleven different types of diagram, accepting UML 2.0 notation. It supports actively the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach implementing the UML profile concept and allowing
This article presents a tool for the reuse of use case diagrams by storing their information in OWL ontology and the use of Semantic Web technologies. Software reuse is defined as the use on a new project of any artifact created before. This practice has significant benefits in reducing costs and increasing quality and productivity

Many applications are built around a single data model, typically persisted to a data store via an object-relational mapper (ORM) tool. Sometimes you want to have more flexibility, which requires multiple models. Understanding when one model of data just doesn’t fit all use cases is the challenge for the architect. This article discusses some strategies
