Re:UML & XML

["Mark CRAWFORD"<mcrawfor@lmi.org>]

UN/CEFACT TMWG is developing a Unified Modelling Methodology.  To quote from the
latest draft of that document (TMWG N090R7) -

"This document describes the methodology that should be adopted by UN/CEFACT to
model Business Processes and support the development of existing and "Next
Generation" EDI for electronic business.  It is based on the customising the
Unified Process Methodology developed by the Rational Corporation so as to meet
UN/CEFACT needs."

My questions to BP and Core Components groups from a requirements perspective
are these -

    1) Can you adopt the TMWG UMM approach as part of your solution, or do you
see a need for a separate ebXML approach?
    2) If you can adopt the TMWG UMM approach, does the TMWG document
sufficiently address your modeling requirements? Do you support its contents?
    3) If you see the need for a separate ebXML approach, what are the reasons?

An article has been published in "Rose Architect" (www.rosearchitect.com_ on
"UML & XML", this may have some perspectives of interest to our Meta-model
work.
