 The Agile DB plug in, still a work in progress, 
will be comprised of two packages: 
1. Basic data stuff (role and artifact 
definitions). 
2. Agile data techniques (db refactoring, db 
testing, and agile data modeling). 
  
Minimally we should at least mention data modeling 
in the OpenUP. 
  
Point the indignant data folks at www.agiledata.org.  Their brains will 
likely melt down and you won't have to listen to them complaining 
anymore.

  Subject: [epf-dev] OpenUP neglects data 
  modeling? 
  
  
  Hi 
    
  Looking through the content, it occurs to me that we may have 
  inadvertently neglected data modeling, giving an "application software" bias 
  to the content.  
    
  Similar (mistaken) perceptions about RUP have caused me headaches for 
  years - usually from indignant database designers who feel their discipline is 
  undervalued in UML-centric development processes. Generally, I tend to think 
  they have a point. 
    
  At the very least, I think we need to make sure that the data modeling 
  content from RUP for Small Projects is brought over under the Visual Modeling 
  package. 
    
  I will create a bugzilla entry under the Design discipline to cover 
  this. It can always be closed if it's considered un-necessary. I'm perfectly 
  happy to do the work on this. 
    
  Views welcome!
