Creating
semantic and graphical links
A link is a powerful construct to build an association between any
semantic objects, e.g. it is possible to link a data store in a process
model to a data model or to a relational table. A link may have several
source objects and several destination objects as well.
Links are particularly helpful in a tool that combines business
process, relational data and object-oriented modeling elements. In case
the linked elements have graphical representations in the same diagram
the link can be graphically displayed as well.
(1) To create a link in a diagram, use the graphical link tool:
1. Select the
graphical link tool from the Creation Tools toolbar:
2. Create a link between two
objects(e.g. a class and a note):
(2) To
create a link between any two concepts, use the link model:
To create a semantic link
between any two concepts
(e.g. the method of a class from a Class Model and a process in a
Process Model, etc.) use the link
model.
