This Unified Modeling Language (UML) Dictionary, put together by Kendall Scott, is based on version 1.0 of "UML Semantics", whose primary authors are the "three amigos," Grady Booch, Jim Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson. That document provides a formal description of the meta-model that underlies the UML; this document contains much of the same information in a format that I hope people find enlightening and useful. The UML Dictionary has been designed as a supplement to the Addison-Wesley book UML Distilled, by Martin Fowler with Kendall Scott, which has lots of diagrams that illustrate UML notation, plus friendly but authoritative text written by an acknowledged expert in object-oriented analysis and design.

I intend to update and expand the UML Dictionary to comform with version 1.1 of the UML, which the Object Management Group (OMG) declared to be a standard in November of 1997. However, I do have a full-time job, and as of February 11, I will be writing another UML book (with Doug Rosenberg, president of ICONIX; this one will focus on use cases), so it will be a while before the 1.1 Dictionary is in place. In the meantime, happy reading!
