  Accusative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The accusative case of a noun is the grammatical case used to mark the direct object of a verb.
"Whom" is the accusative case of "who"; "him" is the accusative case of "he" (the final "m" of both of these words can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European accusative case suffix); and "her" is the accusative case of "she".
This is the form in nominative case, used for the subject of a sentence.

 Vocative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person being addressed, found in Latin among other languages.
In Latin, e.g., the nominative case is lupus and the vocative case is lupe!
In English the vocative case is not marked, but English syntax performs a similar function; witness: "John, could you come here?" or "I don't think so, John", where "John" is neither subject nor object of the verb, but rather indicates the person to whom the statement is being addressed.

The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun.
This declension (case) indicates a change in state of a noun, with the general sense of becoming X or change to X. In the Finnish language, this is the counterpart of the Essive case, with the basic meaning of a change of state.
In nominative-absolutive languages, the nominative case marks the subject of a transitive verb or a voluntary subject of an intransitive verb, but not an involuntary subject of an intransitive verb (for which the absolutive case is used).

The patient of a (transitive) verb is in the accusative case.
The trigger may be identified as the agent, patient, etc. Other nouns may be inflected for case, but the inflections are overloaded; for example, in Tagalog, the subject and object of a verb are both expressed in the genitive case when they are not in the trigger case.

In Latin, the ablative case has absorbed the functions of the old instrumental case and the former locative case.
In the Finnish language (suomi), the ablative case is the sixth of the locative cases with the basic meaning "from off of" - a poor English equivalent, but necessary to distinguish it from "from out of" which would be Elative case.

 Dative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
The dative generally marks the indirect object of a verb, although in some instances, the dative is used for the direct object of a verb pertaining directly to an act of giving something.
The pronoun whom is also a remnant of the dative case in English, descending from the Old English dative pronoun "hwām" (as opposed to the nominative "who", which descends from Old English "hwā") — though "whom" also absorbed the functions of the Old English accusative pronoun "hwone".

 Genitive case
The genitive case is an adjectival form of a noun that shows some sort of relationship between itself and what it describes.
It is a common misconception that English nouns have a genitive case, marked by the possessive -'s ending.
Linguists generally believe that English possessive is no longer a case at all, but has become a clitic, an independent particle which, however, is always written and pronounced as part of the preceding word.

 Partitive case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The partitive case is a grammatical case which denotes "partialness", "without result", or "without specific identity".
In the Finnish language, this case is often used to express unknown identities and actions.
The case with an unspecified identity is onko teillä kirjoja, which uses the partitive, because it refers to unspecified books, as contrasted to accusative onko teillä (ne) kirjat?

Each use case provides one or more ''scenarios'' that convey how the system should interact with the end user or another system to achieve a specific business goal.
This is especially the case within the object-oriented community where they originated, but their applicability is not restricted to object-oriented systems, because use cases are not object orientated in nature.

 Oblique case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In linguistics, an oblique case is a noun case that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
It contrasts also with an ergative case, used in ergative languages for nouns that are direct actors; in ergative languages, the same case is used for a direct object, and for the subject of a sentence where the subject is being passively described, rather than performing an action.
In Indo-European languages, oblique cases often appear as the result of the simplification of the original, more complex system of noun cases shared by the historical Indo-European languages.
