Talk:Visual Paradigm for UML

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article contains the following line:

"Visual Paradigm for UML Enterprise Edition supporting latest version of BPMN ."

The syntactically correct version of this line would be:

"Visual Paradigm for UML Enterprise Edition supports the latest version of the BPMN."

An actual fact would be, with numbers included to fill out the example because I don't have them:

"Version 1.0 of Visual Paradigm for UML Enterprise Edition (released 2007-01-02) supports version 1.0 of the BPMN (released 2007-01-02)."

Then again, what does 'supports' mean in the above sentence? Further elucidiation[1] of the meaning of 'supports' would give us a practical example of the use of the statement "Product X_(name, version, releasedate) supports standard Y_(name, version, releasedate)"

An actual fact worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia would be:

"All editions of 'Visual Paradigm for UML Enterprise Edition' always support all versions of the BPMN, by definition"

Then again, maybe this is what was meant by the actual line.

[1] natural elucidation is the extraction of chemicals from plants

   an encyclopedia is a tool used to extract facts from opinions
   and process belief-systems into fact-systems
