Reference Definition: UML is a standardised general-purpose modeling language, created and maintained by the Object Management Group. UML is used to specify, visualise, modify, construct and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software-intensive system under development. UML includes a set of graphic notation techniques to create visual models, including:
- Structure diagrams (e.g. class, component, deployment, package and profile diagrams)
- Behaviour diagrams (e.g. activity, UML state machine and use case diagrams)
- Interaction diagrams (e.g. communication, interaction overview, sequence and timing diagrams). (Wikipedia
