| UML Static Structure diagram |
 |
Static structure model
elements are used to describe the system structure. According to
the defined UML profile for the project, the models could
be of different types. These models are presented using
variations of the Class diagrams.
Class diagrams show the static structure of the model, in particular,
the things that exist (such as classes and types), their internal
structure, and their
relationships to other
things.
Class diagrams do not show temporal information, although
they may contain reified occurrences of things that have
or things that describe temporal behavior.
An object diagram shows instances compatible with a particular class
diagram.

| UML Use Case diagram |
 |
Use case diagrams show actors
and use cases, as well as their relationships. The
use cases represent functionality
of a system or a classifier, like a subsystem or a class,
as manifested to external
interactors with the system or the classifier.

| UML Collaboration diagram |
 |
Collaboration is a static
construct which is used to model the
behavior of the system. A Collaboration
describes realization of an Operation or a Classifier.
A Collaboration may be attached to an Operation or a Classifier,
like a UseCase, to describe the context in which their behavior occurs.
Behavior
is implemented by ensembles of Instances that exchange Stimuli within
an overall interaction to accomplish
a task.
An Interaction is defined in the context of a Collaboration.
It specifies the communication patterns between the roles in
the Collaboration. The Interactions defined within the Collaboration
specify the communication pattern between the Instances when they perform
the
behavior specified in the Operation or the UseCase.

| UML Sequence diagram |
 |
A sequence diagram presents
an Interaction, which is a
set of Messages between
Classifier Roles within a Collaboration,
or an InteractionInstanceSet, which is a set of
Stimuli between Instances within a CollaborationInstanceSet to effect
a desired
operation or result.

| UML Statechart diagram stencil |
 |
Statechart diagrams represent
dynamic behavior
of entities by
specifying their responses to the receipt of event instances.
Typically, they are used for
describing behavior of class instances, but statecharts may also
describe
behavior of other entities such as use-cases, actors, subsystems,
operations, or
methods.

| UML Activity diagram |
 |
An activity graph is a variation
of the state machine in which states represent
performance of actions or subactivities and the transitions
are triggered by completion of the actions or subactivities.
The entire activity diagram is attached (through the
model) to a classifier,
such
as a use case, or to a package, or to the implementation of an operation.
The purpose of this diagram is to focus on flows
driven by internal processing (as opposed to
external events). Activity diagrams should be used in situations where
all or most of the events
represent the completion of internally-generated actions (that
is, procedural flow of
control). Use ordinary state diagrams in situations where asynchronous
events occur.

| UML Implementation diagram |
 |
Implementation diagrams show aspects of physical
implementation,
including the
structure of components and the run-time deployment system. They
come in two
forms:
1) component diagrams show the structure of components,
including the
classifiers that specify them, and the artifacts that implement them;
and
2) deployment
diagrams show the structure of the nodes on which the components
are deployed.
These diagrams can also be applied in a broader way to business
modeling where the
components represent business procedures and artifacts, and the deployment
nodes
represent the organization units and resources (human and otherwise)
of the business.

Description |
| Entity-Relationship diagram |
 |
Entity-Relationships (ER) diagrams are used to produce a graphical
information model which represents the structure and semantics of
information within an environment or system. The ER diagrams
permit the construction of semantic data models
to build databases.
Stencil is designed according notation defined in Integration Definition
for Information Modeling (IDEF1X) standard (Federal Information
Processing Standards Publication 184), issued by the National Institute
of Standards and Technology 1993 December 21.

| User Interface diagram |
 |
User interface diagram presents
the user's external
view on the
system. Use this type of diagram to mockup the system's view to
specify the requirements with the project participants,
especially with the end users.
The User interface diagram concentrates on the content of
the input / output forms rather than the graphics design and
branding of the interface. For the last user interface builders and
graphics tools
shall be used instead.
