Résumé
Graphical notations designed by committees in the context of standardization bodies, like Object Management Group (OMG), are widely used in the industry and academia. Naive users of these notations have limited background on visualization, documentation and specification of work ows, data or software systems. Several studies have pointed out the fact that these notations do not convey any particular seman- tics and their understanding is not perceptually immediate. As reported in these studies, this lack of semantic transparency increases the cog- nitive load to differentiate between concepts, slows down the learning and comprehension of the language constructs. This paper reports on a set of experiments that confirm the lack of semantic transparency of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as designed by OMG and compares this standard to alternative solutions where naive users are involved in the design of the notations to speed-up the learning of these languages to new users.
