'''General-purpose modeling''' ('''GPM''') is the systematic use of a [[General-purpose language|general-purpose]] [[modeling language]] to represent the various facets of an [[object (philosophy)|object]] or a [[system]]. Examples of GPM languages are:

* The [[Unified Modeling Language]] (UML), an industry standard for modeling software-intensive systems

* [[EXPRESS ([[ISOdata 10303-11modeling language)|EXPRESS]]), ana internationaldata modeling standardlanguage for theproduct specificationdata, ofstandardized dataas modelsISO 10303-11

* [[IDEF]], a group of languages from the 1970s that aimed to be neutral, generic and reusable

* [[Gellish]], an industry standard natural language oriented modeling language for storage and exchange of data and knowledge, published in 2005

* [[XML]], a [[data modeling]] language now beginning to be used to model code (MetaL, Microsoft .Net [http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/syllabi/2663Afinal.asp])

* [[Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]], a [[functional programming language]] designed for symbol processing, later extended with imperative abilities

* [[XML]], a [[data modeling]] language now beginning to be used to model code (MetaL, Microsoft .Net[http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/syllabi/2663Afinal.asp])

Contrast GPM languages are in contrast with dedicated [[___domain-specific modeling]] (DSM) languages, which like [[___domain-specific language]]s (DSLsDSMs), are maturing and becoming a viable alternative to GPM languages.
