If you are just reading this weblog, you might have been missing my post on Content Modeling for Java Content Repository (JCR) at dev.day.com.

In this entry I propose an alternative to content modeling with CND and ad-hoc notations based on combining aspects of UML and Fundamental Modeling Concepts.

Fundamental Modeling Concepts

As a former student of the Hasso Plattner Institute I am a big fan of FMC, the Fundamental Modeling Concepts. Bruno Vernay has found the Apache Modeling Project which describes the architecture of the Apache web server using FMC models. Bruno says:
I am still not convinced that FMC is more usefull than UML to describe high level concepts. But anyway, it is a great document.
From my experience, FMC has proved an excellent tool for modeling, describing and understanding complex software systems. It has a clear, consise and defined syntax, allows hiding of abstractions for didagtic reasons and its main concepts can be explained fast, but it is still able to express complex constructs.
