I would like to find a graphical notation that is useful for training
programmers that are new to a large, existing OO application framework.
... and I guess I'm willing to believe that this requirement may place
some additional requirements on the graphical notation used for OOD.

I've read Chapter 5 twice and still feel that parts of the notation
lack a certain mnemonic that would make it easier to remember and use
(and hence may not be an optimal notation for what I'm looking for).

The Uniform Object Notation by Jones, Constantine and Weiss (Computer
Language, October 1990) seems to be more along the lines of what I'm
looking for.

Comments?
