No, it was general purpose and the direct predecessor of the initial UML and RUP versions. Here is a summary in case you're interested: https://www.ivarjacobson.com/publications/books/object-oriented-software-engineering-1992 https://www.ivarjacobson.com/publications/books/object-orien.... Objectory was the name of the method, the tool and the company as well. The tool supported the whole development process with fully cross-referenced model versions for each phase, model integrated editors with a kind of transclusion (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion), and a very powerful document generator; even round-trip engineering was supported. Unfortunately the tool vanished when Rational both them and you barely can find anything about it on the web.
- rightbyte 6y agoInteresting. I could not find much about them. Transclusion (yes I had to look it up) I feel would be an interesting property in development and the "auto complete" type of transclusion always feels like a hack. I wonder how structured software engineering feels like in a big project. Everywhere I have been involved, there were no structure what so ever on the technical level, just process on features and resources.

I once asked Jacobson whether he would release the source code; unfortunately he wasn't able to do so; maybe the IP owners will change their minds some day (as others did with their outdated software). > Transclusion I rarely see implementations of it. Some years ago I built a tool which shares a small subset of features with Objectory (so the transcluding links between items); here is the link in case you're interested: https://github.com/rochus-keller/CrossLine https://github.com/rochus-keller/CrossLine.
