UN/CEFACT’s Modeling Methodology (UMM) is a UML modeling approach to design the business services that each partner must provide in order to collaborate. It provides the business justification for the services to be implemented in a service‐oriented collaboration architecture.
The goals of this specification are:
• To define the semantics of well‐formed UMM business collaboration models, which describe a public choreography of an inter‐organizational system. Local choreographies and private processes of a businesses partner are out of scope.
• To define the validation rules for UMM compliant business collaboration models.
• To clarify the basic concepts that a UMM‐compliant business collaboration model is based on.
• To provide an unambiguous definition for UMM business collaboration models that allows an unambiguous mapping to artifacts for deployment in a service‐oriented architecture. Note, that the mapping itself is not part of UMM.
• To define a UML profile for the UMM foundation module that allows UML tool vendors to customize their tools to be UMM compliant. Better UML 2.1.2. tool support will lead to a growing UMM user base.
