	               <description><![CDATA[IBM(R) InfoSphere(R) Data Architect (IDA) (formerly Rational(R) Data
            Architect) is gaining momentum as a comprehensive tool that helps
            organizations promote a thorough understanding of their enterprise information
            architecture. As more people use IDA, there’s an increasing need for some
            customers to extend IDA to meet their unique data modeling and integration
            requirements. This two-part series shows you how to extend IDA’s models,
            properties view, model reports and validation rules. In Part 1, you learned how to
            programmatically traverse and modify IDA models and how to add and display
            custom properties. In Part 2, learn how to generate customized reports and how
            to add your own validation rules for IDA models. [2009 Jul 02:  This article
            was updated to reflect that the GUI for BIRT report 
            customization has been changed for performance improvement. This is shown in
            the section that describes how to generate customized model reports using BIRT.--Ed.]

	               <description><![CDATA[Model-driven software development generally starts with either application
  modeling or data modeling. Application modeling and data modeling, however, are closely
  related to, and complement, one another. IBM has recognized the importance of
  integrating application modeling with data modeling in model-driven software
  development, and has developed the Unified Modeling Language (UML)-to-Logical Data
  Model (LDM)  and the LDM-to-UML transformations.  These transformations integrate
  application modeling using Rational Software Architect (RSA) and data modeling using
  Rational Data Architect (RDA). This article provides a quick overview of RSA and RDA,
  outlines the high-level steps in three RSA-RDA integration scenarios, and discusses the
  UML-to-LDM and the LDM-to-UML transformations and the UML Logical Data Model Profile. [2009 Apr 17: Added note about Rational Data Architect changing product
