'''Object Process Methodology''' is an approach to designing information systems by depicting them using object models and process models. OPM was founded by [[Dov Dori]], researcher at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, in [[2002]].

==Features==

===Object Process Diagram===

Objects, processes and links between them are depicted by using the '''object process diagram'''.

Line 41:

Having only one diagram, this methodology knows no multiplicity in depicting objects and processes, which improves exchangeability between different diagrams and even different methods.

===Object Process Language===

Another feature of the Object Process Methodology is the '''Object Process Language''' - an OPD can be translated in sentences, telling the storyline of the diagram. The power of OPL lies in the fact that it is readable by humans but also interpretable by computers, thus making it an inter-exchangeable language.

===Object-Process Case Tool===

Modeling through OPM is possible with a specialized tool called Object-Process Case Tool. The latest version of this tool is called OPCat2 and can be downloaded from http://www.objectprocess.org.
