Types, Classes and Collections in Object-Oriented Analysis

Abstract

This paper evaluates the classification support provided by current object-oriented analysis methods and proposes possible improvements. Concepts of object-orientation are briefly reviewed. Key principles for classification are identified and emerging object-oriented analysis methods are then judged against these principles. In an attempt to avoid some of the identified shortcomings, it is proposed that classification support during analysis should be based on two distinct constructs (types and collections) instead of a single class construct. This suggestion is based on a clear distinction between the essential and the contingent properties of the modelled objects.

Object-oriented programming

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which can contain data and code. The data is in the form of fields (often known as attributes or properties), and the code is in the form of procedures (often known as methods). A common feature of objects is that procedures (or methods) are attached to them and can access and modify the object's data fields. In this brand of OOP, there is usually a special name such as or used to refer to the current object.

Medical classification

A medical classification is used to transform descriptions of medical diagnoses or procedures into standardized statistical code in a process known as clinical coding. Diagnosis classifications list diagnosis codes, which are used to track diseases and other health conditions, inclusive of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and heart disease, and infectious diseases such as norovirus, the flu, and athlete's foot. Procedure classifications list procedure code, which are used to capture interventional data.

Service-oriented modeling

Service-oriented modeling is the discipline of modeling business and software systems, for the purpose of designing and specifying service-oriented business systems within a variety of architectural styles and paradigms, such as application architecture, service-oriented architecture, microservices, and cloud computing. Any service-oriented modeling method typically includes a modeling language that can be employed by both the "problem domain organization" (the business), and "solution domain organization" (the information technology department), whose unique perspectives typically influence the service development life-cycle strategy and the projects implemented using that strategy.
