Abstract
Software life cycle consists of requirement analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance phases, and the product of each phase has various format. The UML normalizes such products, and the class diagram, use case diagram, activity diagram and collaboration diagram are usually used for the requirement analysis phase. Because most of UML development tools store such diagrams in a file, there nay be some difficulties of information retrieval and co-work among users. To cope with the difficulties, this paper proposes a database supported methodology to store and manage the diagrams produced by the requirement analysis. In this methodology, the constituents of class, use case, activity and collaboration diagram are first analyzed and then transformed in the form of relational fables. The constituents of such diagrams are stored as tables in a database, and can be easily retrieved from the database by using some queries. This database supported methodology provides the concurrent sharing and high reuse of diagrams.
