[edit] Article name capitalization etc.
In OMG's web site http://www.omg.org/mda/ MDA is named as "Model Driven Architecture". So should this article be named as "Model Driven Architecture" instead of "Model-driven architecture"? Currently Model Driven Architecture is redirect to this and reverse move requires administator to delete that page AFAIK, but what are capitalization etc. rules for article names? --Thv 08:36, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia adopts a lowercase style for titles, and avoids capitalising them unless the title is clearly a proper noun. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization). At AfD, consensus was that "Model-Driven Architecture" was erroneously capitalised, and "Model-driven architecture" was correct. As for the hyphen, it's my understanding that hyphenation rules require it (although, again, exceptions could be made for proper nouns). —Caesura(t) 09:08, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- MDA or `Model Driven Architecture` is a registered trademark ... though, it should be spelled the way it has be registered (like iPod, and not i-Pod or IPod or what-ever. June 27, 2006
[edit] What is MM?
In the third paragraph, I dont understand the term "MM". It is not referenced anywhere else on the page... is it too obvious, or is it a common abreviation I am not aware of, or is it a mistake ? Nicolas1981 20:51, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Where is MDD article?
Just curious, a poster above mentions the article on Model-Driven Development, but it doesn't seem to exist. Was it deleted? If so, why? --Andrew Eisenberg 06:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Erm…no, that was just a silly typo on my part. I've fixed it now. —Caesura(t) 13:29, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] I Believe the MDA Concept Was Adopted by OMG, Not Originated by OMG
I think it is important to note that the term Model-Driven Architecture was in common use before adopted (and trademarked) by OMG. The general concept was similar, in that MDA called for the creation or execution of systems to be driven by higher-level abstractions (i.e. models). But this "plain" MDA did not prescribe the standards around its implementation.
Non-OMG MDA is a concept that many software engineers continue to use in their daily efforts, and I would suggest that a vast majority of them are doing so without the use of a single OMG standard.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mbrower (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Model Driven Engineering
When one wish to refer to the model engineering principles without making an explicit reference to the OMG standards, then one should use Model Driven Engineering—The preceding unsigned comment was added by MDE (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Respecting the Trademarks
Perhaps it should be mentioned that MDA has been trademarked by OMG. The same is true for MDD Only MDE is a generic term, not yet trademarked by OMG—The preceding unsigned comment was added by MDE (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Links to specific products and tools
I have removed the links to specific MDA products and tools from the external links section. Wikipedia is not a soapbox for advertising or promoting products, or a list of links. Not to mention that the links to tools were dominating the list of external links, and taking up a large amount of page space (especially the ones that included promotional text touting the tool in question). There are several existing websites that offer far more comprehensive lists of MDA tools than the list that was here (including OMG's own MDA site). I have added a couple of external links to these existing websites as a substitute for the proliferation of links to individual products. --Allan McInnes (talk) 22:23, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
