Assigning Nickname to Model
Nowadays, information flows throughout the world. When working with VP-UML, we may have many modelers and clients from different countries, one language can never cater to all people. It is impossible to create many projects with different languages for all models and clients. However, this problem can be easily solved by assigning Nickname to a model.
Nickname allows defining another set of model name and documentation, in other words, it allows a project to be presented in different languages. By using Nickname, every modelers and clients share the same project without any difficulties of understanding.
Belows we will show how to assign Nickname to a model by using an Use Case Diagram as an example.
