UML is a modeling language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a system-intensive process. It was originally conceived by Rational Software Corporation and three of the most prominent methodologists in the information systems and technology industry: Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson. This text contains numerous practical real-world examples to help novice and expert users understand the whole language (holistically and cohesively), including rules of usage and principles of composition, style guidelines, and a roadmap for successfully applying the UML.
