Object-oriented
A language for object-oriented modeling (OOM) is a notation for modeling a system as object-oriented. An organization may use OOM to document and describe the system architecture and design to both developers and stakeholders. Because a modeling language is visual and at a higher-level of abstraction than code, using models encourages the generation of a shared vision that may prevent problems of differing interpretation later in development. Often software modeling tools are used to construct these models, which may then be capable of automatic translation to code.
