Abstract

Rumbaugh's OMT [1] notation is frequently proposed as a candidate 'conceptual' language for the Information viewpoint of the Open Distributed Processing framework, ODP [2]. Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects, GDMO [3], is a notation used for defining 'information' for the Telecommunications Management Network. This definition is considered to belong to the Engineering viewpoint of ODP. OMT is a pure graphical language, while GDMO is a pure alphanumeric language. This paper identifies difficulties with using OMT in combination with GDMO.
