	Beyond modeling new elements and patterns, the diagram tool can be used to build interface documentation. This functions oppositely from PHENOM's typical mode of documentation. Instead of start with the most specific details and then adding context, this view editing tool starts with the broadest context and narrows down to the most specific details. This approach is difficult to use unless you know the data model.		Beyond modeling new elements and patterns, the diagram tool can be used to build interface documentation.

	==[[Diagram]]==		==[[Diagram]]==
	Diagrams are a very easy way to visualize models and explore their connectivity. A modeling tool would not be complete without some means of building diagrams. While constructing PHENOM's diagramming engine, users expressed their desire for a "modeling scratchpad" capability. This concept allows users to build model content without immediately affecting the data model. This makes it possible to experiment with different modeling ideas without adding a bunch of intermediate content to the model. The new elements become official model content once they are "committed."		Diagrams are a very easy way to visualize models and explore their connectivity.

	These are tools that provide additional insight into the model. It can show the distribution of entities and attributes used in the documentation.

	==[[Meridian Map]]==		==[[Meridian Map]]==
	The Meridian Map is a type of ribbon diagram that shows the semantic alignment of a collection of views. Drag up to 50 views into the Meridian Map, and it will quickly render the a graph showing all of the 100% semantic matches.

	By default, this alignment works at the conceptual level. This means that a latitude position will map to a longitude position. In order to further filter using the measurement information, make sure that "Logical Matches Only" is selected.		By default, this alignment works at the conceptual level.

	The View Trace tool allows users to map a set of views (one or more) to another set of views (one or more). Although the data model automates the View Trace process, there are times when it is necessary to map dissimilar semantics. View Trace is the primary mechanism for overriding semantic mappings.
