Abstract
The present invention can include a solution for capturing user-defined custom elements for use in a graphical modeling application. Such a system can include a graphical modeling application and a custom element definition tool. The graphical modeling application can be configured to create semantic models that contain a static graphical elements and semantic data elements. The custom element definition tool can be configured to create a user-defined custom element for the graphical modeling application. The user-defined custom element can consist of one or more static graphical element and/or one or more semantic data element.
