About 10 years ago when I was a contractor with Glaxo Smith Kline, a guy came in and showed me a new diagramming specification that was sort of like UML but where he could ask me a series of questions and basically draw a diagram for any large application system from a logical data workflow perspective and a chronological perspective. From this diagram, you can then determine hosting requirements in a unified manner as well as know where to put security controls, firewalls, and systems monitoring scripts to ensure everything is secure and runs smoothly.

For the life of me, I can't remember this specification, but I do know it's not UML, CORBA, UDDI, and doesn't involve web services specifications in this case. If you happen to know what I'm talking about, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
