UML学习笔记（二）

                          UML范围之外的几个问题。（Outside the Scope of the UML）

1、编程语言

 UML不是一门具体的编程语言，但是与面向对象的编程语言有很紧密的联系。

The UML, a visual modeling language, is not intended to be a visual programming language,
the sense of having all the necessary visual and semantic support to replace programming。

The UML is a language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting
the artifacts of a software-intensive system。

The UML does have a tight mapping to a family of object languages so that you can
get the best of both worlds.

2、实现工具

UML建模工具的实现依赖于UML的有关的semantic 和 notation 定义。UML不关系具体的实现。

Tools and their interoperability are very dependent on a solid semantic and notation definition, such as the
UML provides. The UML defines a semantic metamodel, not a tool interface, storage, or runtime
model, although these should be fairly close to one another.

3、处理流程

   不同的问题域、不同的组织在软件开发中的过程是不尽相同的。合理的开发过程，能帮助软件项目成功。

   在不同得项目中，不同得处理流程中，都可以使用UML来处理问题。
