UMM At A Glance
UMM enables to capture business knowledge independent of the underlying implementation technology, like Web Services or ebXML. The goal is to specify a global choreography of a business collaboration serving as an “agreement” between the participating partners in the respective collaboration. Each business partner derives in turn its local orchestration, enabling the configuration of the business partner’s system for the use within a service oriented architecture ( SOA).
In order to guarantee user acceptance of the UMM, it must be both effective and easy to understand for the business process modelers and software architects.
UMM is based on the Unified Modeling Language ( UML) and its current version is 1.0 with version 2.0 currently being under development.
UMM 1.0 is based on UML 1.4 whereas UMM 2.0 will be based on UML 2.1.

Famous quotes containing the word glance:
“He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
