	Unified Modeling Language
UML

    (UML) A non-proprietary, third generation modelling
   language.  The Unified Modeling Language is an open method
   used to specify, visualise, construct and document the
   artifacts of an object-oriented software-intensive system
   under development.  The UML represents a compilation of "best
   engineering practices" which have proven successful in
   modelling large, complex systems.

   UML succeeds the concepts of Booch, OMT and OOSE by
   fusing them into a single, common and widely usable modelling
   language.  UML aims to be a standard modelling language which
   can model concurrent and distributed systems.

   UML is not an industry standard, but is taking shape under
   the auspices of the Object Management Group (OMG).  OMG has
   called for information on object-oriented methodologies, that
   might create a rigorous software modelling language.  Many
   industry leaders have responded in earnest to help create the
   standard.
