'''Visual modeling''' is the graphic representation of objects and systems of interest using [[Graphical modeling language|graphical language]]s. Visual modeling languages may be [[General-Purpose Modeling]] (GPM) languages (e.g., [[Unified Modeling Language|UML]], [[Southbeach Notation]], [[IDEF]]) or [[Domain-Specific Modeling]] (DSM) languages (e.g., [[SysML]]). They include industry open standards (e.g., UML, SysML, [[Modelica]]), as well as proprietary standards, such as the visual languages associated with [[VisSim]], [[MATLAB]] and [[Simulink]], [[OPNET]], [[NetSim]], [[NI Multisim]], and [[Reactive Blocks]]. Both VisSim and Reactive Blocks provide a royalty-free, downloadable viewer that lets anyone open and interactively simulate their models. The community edition of Reactive Blocks also allows full editing of the models as well as compilation, as long as the work is published under the [[Eclipse Public License]]. Visual modeling languages are an area of active research that continues to evolve, as evidenced by increasing interest in DSM languages, visual [[requirements]], and visual OWL ([[Web Ontology Language]]).<ref name="faq">{{cite web|author=|title=Visual OWL|url=http://www.visualmodeling.com/VisualOWL.htm}}</ref>
