The unified modeling language (UML) is a language for specifying, constructing, visualizing and documenting the software system and its components. The UML is a graphical language with sets of rules and semantics.
The primary goals in the design of the UML are as follows:
Provide users a ready-to-use, expressive visual modeling language so they can develop and exchange meaningful models
Provide extensibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core concepts.
Be independent of particular programming languages and development processes.
Provide a formal basis for understanding the modeling language.
Encourage the growth of the OO tools market.
Support higher-level development concepts.
Integrate best practices and methodologies.
