You
can make the information in UML
or
data models available for viewing outside the IBM® Rational® modeling product in two ways:
by publishing models and by generating reports on them. Publishing presents
the information without analysis, while reports can group and aggregate the
information to help you draw conclusions about the model. For example, you
can use reports to illustrate the complexity of a model, or to show the relationships
in the model.
In addition to using the publishing and reporting feature to share
model information with people who do not have the modeling products, you can
also use the feature to quickly browse large models that take a long time
to load, and to document successive iterations of an evolving model.
