Unified Modeling Language
UML™ provides a standardized notation for modeling object-oriented information systems. UML was introduced to the object-oriented community in a number of stages between 1995 and 1997. In late 1997, the Object Management Group (OMG) approved UML. Since then, UML has become the de facto standard for system notation. UML is a trademark of the OMG.
The current specification of UML is version 1.5. Work is in progress on version 2.0.
