This section covers the Modelling Language aspect of Cohesion. All modelling features can be selected from the Language menu in the main program window.
Cohesion stores its files into the two major components that make up Modelling Languages:
The terms 'Diagram Style' and 'Graphical Representation' are interchangeable with the
term Notation, whilst the terms 'rules' or 'rule set' refers to the Meta Model.
Users of Cohesion should note that the file extensions for the two Modelling Language Components consist of .CMM and .CNT to represent Cohesion Meta Model and Cohesion Notation respectively.
Cohesion takes this relatively modular approach, to allow for the definition of Modelling Languages that consist of the same or similar rules, but with different graphical notations.
To find out how to actually utilise notations, please refer to Modelling Languages
