Gellish

I don't agree that the sentence about Gellish is removed. It is indeed rather new and therefore not yet widely known, but it has its basis in sound international standards (ISO 10303-221 and ISO 15926-2 and 4) and it is not 'textual' but definitely model based. The mentioned ISO standards illustrate the data model behind it. Regards, Andries van Renssen

Hi Andries! The focus of "model" here is on graphical models. Gellish seems to be textual, even if there is also a graphical format (I guess you mean EXPRESS-G or similar). EXPRESS is already mentioned - doesn't that cover the graphical side of those standards sufficiently? Are you sure mentioning Gellish here helps the reader understand what a GPML is, rather than helping more people know about Gellish? I can't really imagine someone saying "GPML, hmm, what kind of thing is that? IDEF, no, never heard of that... UML, nope, not familiar... Ah! Gellish! Now why didn't you say so straight away!" :-) Steven Kelly 21:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I see that you are the CTO of MetaCase and co-founder of the DSM Forum. You really shouldn't be adding links to domains that you have a WP:COI with. (Requestion 20:17, 23 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I didn't add the links! The link was there from the very first version, which neither I nor anyone else connected with these organizations made. Check the history... Please, if you don't know about these topics, don't edit based on your assumptions. Steven Kelly 19:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
