This is a good one

Use cases
----------
A task a user will perform using the system.
http://www.agilemodeling.com/artifacts/systemUseCase.htm (note that this one is done textually)
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/co-design5.html

These most closely relate to end user documentation - What are the steps the user performs to perform the task.

Data Flow Diagrams
------------------
How data (information) will move through the system

Data Model Diagrams
-------------------
The relationships between data components.

Most useful when developing APIs to ensure that your objects are consistent throughout the system, and to give the user(a programmer) what the relationships are.
