During the last 3 years, many puml'ers
have been involved in the UML 2.0 definition process. The following links
relate to the activities carried out by the group.
Request For Information
(RFI)
The OMG issued a Request For Information
(RFI) with regard to UML 2.0. The submission from the pUML group argues
for the rearchitecting of UML as a family of languages and outlines a framework
for constructing a precise semantics for UML that supports profiles and
advanced tools.

Request For Proposals
(RFP)
We contributed to the formulation
of an Request For Proposals on rearchitecting UML. The four RFP's for UML
2.0 can be found at the UML 2.0 Working
Group pages.
Feasibility Study
With the support and collaboration
of IBM a feasibility study into rearchitecting the definition of UML using
a precise object-oriented meta-modeling approach was undertaken. As part
of this, a prototype (Java) tool was been developed implementing the approach.
This tool is free, subject to a GNU licence, and is available for download
along with the report at the MMF page.
Initial Submission
to RFP's
Submission from Data Access,
Project Technology, Kinetium, Softlab and Siemens in association with the
pUML Group (pdf)
2U Consortium
The 2U Consortium was one of the three main groups
that submitted to UML 2.0. The consortium included many of the pUML
group, and the submission built upon the IBM Feasiblity study and the Initial
Submission to RFP's described above (link).
The submission that was produced met many of the aims of the group and has
led to a deeper understanding of the best way to structure large language
definitions. Many of the ideas in this proposal have influenced the final
UML 2.0 proposal.
