Innovator models provide a framework for simple mapping of a section of reality. You always create a model based on a model template that initially provides and defines this framework.
A model's project-specific conventions are defined in the model template or in the model configuration at a later stage.
A model is always managed in a repository. The respective repository needs to be available for creating and editing a model.
The repository is automatically started, exited and stored compressed locally for local models.
A model can comprise of various system models so that multiple systems can be described in a model and their relationships can be shown at the same time.
The modeling platform, Innovator, supports business process modeling, object-oriented system analysis, object-oriented software design and data modeling. Innovator is especially suited for model-driven software development as it enables domain-specific language extensions using UML 2 profiles.
It is used in pretty much the same way as Innovator X Generation, regardless of type and project-specific conventions.
You can find information about modeling and models in this help's Browse Sequences tab under Information About Models.
