Donate Diagram or EAP file

[Bill Egge]

Hello,

Is anyone willing to donate one of their diagrams (or entire .EAP files) to me in order for me to use as a reference for learning UML?

What's wrong with the included sample file (EXExample.eap)?

There's also a UML tutorial at:
http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/uml-tutorial.html

Incidentally, I think the above two links are great for learning UML in-the-context-of-EnterpriseArchitect, but there other resources (books, courses, on-line sites) that are useful for learning UML the-notation.  I personally think that Martin Fowler's "UML Distilled" is the most friendly intro to UML.

For the use case it only shows 2 extensions.  Encrypt Message and Decrypt message.  These 2 are so similar that it is just as good as having only one of them.

I am not looking for a tutorial (I have enough of them), I am looking for "concretization" of the concepts - meaning referents of the concepts in UML so that I can learn the concepts better.

I can't find my post to this often asked question :-/
The simple answer: real models contain real information which in 99.999% is confidential. And the effort for making them anonymous is not paid back by anyone.

... and most models are so specifically aligned to solving a local "problem" that publication probably is of little help as a concept illustration.

As a suggestion, I have a  special model that I use for investigating concepts (including many concepts and issues raised in these forums...) It is simply structured with views of "model types".  For example, view "activity modelling" contains about 120 submodels containing the different aspects of UML 2 activity modelling.  Each one has a concrete example based on one of a "few" world models that make metaphoric sense to me.  (For example, in the structure models I often use ::thing specialised to ::animal, ::vegetable and ::mineral to investigate attribute/property/method and inheritance issues.)  

Another thing I find helpful is net searches for academic papers on (UML) modelling concepts.  Good papers tend to analyse the modelling concept thoroughly compared to a single "commercial" example.

p.s. don't bother asking how many sub models I've got for chapter 1267 now retitled "Who needs b*&^$% component models anyway!"
