The Oslo modeling language from Microsoft is now referred to as the SQL Server Modeling Community Technology Preview. The SQL Server Modeling CTP includes a database for models, a visual tool, and a language. The database for models is optimized to provide data schemas and instances. The visual tool, Quadrant, allows for browsing any SQL Server database without writing a line of code. This allows for easier browsing of any set of related tables by dragging and dropping icons that represent the related data. M is the language which enables users to model data structures, data instances, and data environment. M lets data to be shown as text form that is easily read by the author and audience. M is considered as both a schema language and a transformation language. It can be viewed as a schema language because it can validate text input to a given language; transformation language because it projects text input into data structures for processing or storage. M seems to be more database modeling than a BPMN.
