Abstract

The OPEN Modelling Language, OML, was published during the standardization process which finally led to UML version 1.3. While being contributory to this process, there are still some features of the OML which have not been adopted in the current version of the UML. These features offer capabilities which are complementary to those of the UML. This paper describes how these features of the OML can be made available to UML developers by viewing the OML as a variant of the UML.
