Create UML diagrams directly from Python/SQLAlchemy code in ODM2 API #55

On our ODM2 conference call today we discussed the huge benefits of creating UML diagrams directly from the API code that Jeff's group has been working on. Here are links to a few approaches to do that directly from Python:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sadisplay https://bitbucket.org/estin/sadisplay/wiki/Home

http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/SchemaDisplay

At the end of our discussion on Friday about ODM2 naming conventions (partially recorded in Issue #19), @sreeder and @Castronova mentioned that they use sqlacodegn Python library (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sqlacodegen) to help with the Relational to Object mapping for their API effort. This should make it even easier to use SQLAlchemy & sadisplay to automatically generate UML diagrams for all the work that is being done under the ODM2 API effort.
