* * It might be just me thinking that some of the 21090 types are not that simple, so am interested in reactions of others. Here is the documentation of the term-code representation type CD, which explains how the 'no exceptions' (CNE) and 'exceptions' (CWE) variants should be realised: A

Just one more thought about this. When someone design a custom software system, the information model is not only based on use cases. We all know about "general software quality characteristics" that we have to think about, like Usability, Maintainability (modifiability, adaptability, etc), Com
