- Class Diagram
- A UML diagram showing the object-oriented relationships among classes and their members.
- Component
- A loose term describing one or more closely related classes that perform a single function, implement one algorithm, or manage a single type of data. Frameworks, subsystems and models can be described as containing components.
- Framework
- A set of classes that are closely related in terms of function and data, and which form an independent and reusable product.
- Library
- A collection of compiled functions or classes that are stored in a library file. On *Nix systems, the library name would have form libMyLibrary.a. On Microsoft Windows systems, the library name will have the form MyLibrary.lib.
- Object-Oriented
- A design methodology decomposing problems into objects rather than procedures. FORTRAN and C are procedural languages. C++ is a object-oriented language.
- Sequence Diagram
- A UML diagram showing the sequence of interactions among objects.
- Submodel
- A coherant division in the architecture of a model, which operates upon a single area of the model's problem domain.
- Subsystem
- A set of closely related classes or class hierarchy that is part of a framework or model, and is not intended to be used separately.
- UML
- Unified Markup Language , used to produce case, class, and sequence diagrams, and more.
