    <summary>The URDAD web site and its documentation site are public — the method, the tool suite, example models, the user manual and the specifications of the model and its two languages.</summary>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;URDAD now has a public home. &lt;a href=&quot;https://urdad.org/&quot;&gt;urdad.org&lt;/a&gt; says what the method and its tool
suite offer, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.urdad.org/manual/&quot;&gt;docs.urdad.org&lt;/a&gt; holds their documentation.
Everything published there is openly licensed, under

&lt;h2 id=&quot;learn-the-method&quot;&gt;Learn the method&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.urdad.org/method/&quot;&gt;The URDAD method&lt;/a&gt; introduces the method without
presupposing any tool: its principles, the steps it repeats at every level of
granularity, and two models worked through from their use cases to the
processes that realise them. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.urdad.org/cheat-sheet/&quot;&gt;cheat sheet&lt;/a&gt; puts the
notation on two pages, every symbol drawn as the modelling tool draws it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;look-something-up&quot;&gt;Look something up&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.urdad.org/manual/&quot;&gt;user manual&lt;/a&gt;, for how the tool behaves, from modelling
to deploying an instance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.urdad.org/specification/&quot;&gt;model specification&lt;/a&gt;: every element of a URDAD
model, generated from the model’s JSON schema, which is itself
&lt;a href=&quot;https://urdad.org/schemas/urdad.schema.json&quot;&gt;published at its identifier&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The specifications of &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.urdad.org/urdad-ocl/&quot;&gt;URDAD-OCL&lt;/a&gt; and
&lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.urdad.org/urdad-feel/&quot;&gt;URDAD-FEEL&lt;/a&gt;, the two notations a model’s conditions
are written in: their grammar, meaning and standard library.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.urdad.org/glossary/&quot;&gt;glossary&lt;/a&gt;, with every term at an address of its own.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;see-it-applied&quot;&gt;See it applied&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://urdad.org/resources/examples/&quot;&gt;example models&lt;/a&gt; are complete models with their
views as the tool draws them, ready to download and import. To try the tool
itself, &lt;a href=&quot;https://urdad.org/trial/&quot;&gt;request a trial&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
