The Unified Modeling Language™ - UML - is OMG's most-used specification, and the way the world models not only application structure, behavior, and architecture, but also business process and data structure.
Tutorial Details:
UML, along with the Meta Object Facility (MOF™), also provides a key foundation for OMG's Model-Driven Architecture®, which unifies every step of development and integration from business modeling, through architectural and application modeling, to development, deployment, maintenance, and evolution.
OMG is a not-for-profit computer industry specifications consortium;our members define and maintain the UML specification which we publish in the series of documents linked on this page for your free download. Software providers of every kind build tools that conform to these specifications. To model in UML, you'll have to obtain a compliant modeling tool from one of these providers and learn how to use it. The links at the bottom of this page will help you do that.
UML2.0, The Current Official Version:
OMG is currently upgrading all of UML to Version 2.0. It's a large specification, and is being worked in four parts:
Adoption of the UML 2.0 Superstructure is complete - No further technical work is being done; in fact the Superstructure specification has been stable since it took its adopted form in October, 2004. The superstructure defines the six structure diagrams, three behavior diagrams, four interaction diagrams, and the elements that comprise them, and so is the part of the language that you'll encounter in UML 2.0 compliant tools. You can view and download the final, official, UML 2.0 Superstructure specification here.
Adoption of the other three parts of UML 2.0 is nearly complete. These parts are:
UML 2.0 Infrastructure: The infrastructure defines base classes that form the foundation not only for the UML 2.0 superstructure, but also for MOF 2.0.
UML 2.0 Object Constraint Language (OCL): This allows setting of pre- and post-conditions, invariants, and other conditions.
UML 2.0 Diagram Interchange: This specification extends the UML metamodel with a supplementary package for graph-oriented information, allowing models to be exchanged or stored/retrieved and then displayed as they were originally.
