Here is what seems the official site : http://www.bon-method.com/index_normal.htm
(does not seems alive by the way, ... what a pitty)

Not as much as I would like.

Simpler and easier to learn/understand, so better suited for
communication. Less redundances in the notation. Clearer, while UML
users sometimes have their own interpretation only.

Humm, to be honnest, I like the good old E/R diagram, as in my
opinion, it is a good one for analisies (while objects are good for
implementation design, not really for overall system or concept
analisies), and BON does not support such a thing.

I'm disapointed to say that as it is not so famous as UML is, Ive
found just a lonely tool in the place : BONCaseTool. You may learn
about it here : http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~eiffel/bon_case_tool/index.html
But I do not like it, beceause it is only Eiffel oriented.


I use to talk with some one about it (notations), and I've learned
that a relevant number of people are simply using their own
notation.... Do you think it is a common behaviour ?
