More information about the course

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a universal modeling language with semantic specification, graphical notation, interchange format, and interface for storage queries. It is designed for use in object-oriented software applications, including those based on technologies recommended by the Object Management Group (OMG).

As such, it serves a variety of purposes, including but not limited to the following:

• A means of communicating requirements and design intent

• A basis for implementation (including automatic code generation)

• A facility for reverse engineering and documentation

As an international standard, the various components of the UML provide a common basis for the exchange of models and metadata:

• Among software development tools

• Between software developers

• Between repositories and other object management facilities
