ARIS provides an additional option for object-oriented modeling, the graphic notation Object Modeling Technique (OMT) (cf. Rumbaugh, J.; Blaha, M.; Premerlani, W.; Eddy, F.; Lorensen, W.: Object-Oriented Modeling and Design, Munich et al. 1993). Meanwhile, OMT, along with the Booch and OOSE methods, has been integrated and refined into the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is also offered in ARIS (see chapter Unified Modeling Language (UML) in ARIS). OMT is still provided today to enable compatibility with older versions of ARIS. However, we recommend the use of Unified Modeling Language rather than OMT.

Below, the OMT methodology components are described. Furthermore, the use of the modeling techniques available in ARIS is explained. This description does not replace the detailed description of modeling techniques in the original literature. Its basic objective is to explain how the modeling techniques are handled within ARIS.
