the one-stop information source for UN/CEFACT’s Modeling Methodology (UMM) and related technologies
A the new version 0.3 of the UMM2 Add-In is available from the project’s website. We advise in particular all participants of the Gasunie UMM workshop on the 26th of November to use this version for the workshop.
Important: Please unzip the file and rename the file UMM2AddInInstaller_0_3.msi to UMM2AddInInstaller.msi before starting the installation.
A new release of the UMM 2.0 Add-In, fixing several bugs in the validator and the UML 2 profile for UMM is available for download from the project’s website.
During the 13th UN/CEFACT forum meeting Christian Huemer (Vienna University of Technology) has been elected as the new chair of the Technologies and Methodologies group (TMG) of UN/CEFACT. Scott Hinkelman (Oracle Cooperation) has been appointed as TMG vice chair.
The most recent Core Component Library CCL08A is available as Enterprise Architect file.
Using the predefined core components, core data types, business information entities, and business data types a business document modeler can easily assemble business documents.
The code which parses the Microsoft Excel representation in .csv into the Enteprise Architect representation is part of the UMM2 Add-In code.
folks, we are happy to announce that we included the Worksheets in the current UMM 2.0 Public Draft during the current TMG interim meeting in Tokyo. The worksheets are also separately downloadable as Microsoft Word Templates.
The UMM 2.0 Specifications (both, foundation and base) are currently in ODP Step 5, which means they are currently a public draft. The review cycle for the draft has been extended to 31st October – that’s one week before the forum meeting in Senegal. We kindly encourage our stakeholders to go through the draft and file comments if needed.
The UMM 2.0 Public Draft (and always the version of the UMM 2.0 spec) is located at
The new UMM2AddIn for Enterprise Architect 7.1 has just been released.
The AddIn has been built against the current UMM 2.0 specification draft which can be found under:
http://www.untmg.org/umm/spec/foundation/2_0
Thereby the AddIn includes the UML Profile for UMM 2.0, the UMM 2.0 Quick Linker, and the UMM 2.0 Validator. The UML Profile together with the Quick Linker allows for an easy creation of UMM 2.0 models. With the help of the UMM Validator a UMM 2.0 model can be checked against the constraints defined in the UMM 2.0 specification.
You can download the UMM2AddIn from http://umm2-addin.googlecode.com/ under Downloads.

We would like to draw your attention to an interesting toolset initiative from the Henri Tudor Research Center. Henri Tudor has developed a toolset for the planing, design, and animation of electronic messages.
The UMM 2.0 example models have been updated to the latest version of the UMM 2.0 standard. Furthermore they have been checked with the new UMM 2.0 validator,which will be released for free public use during the next week.
Two new papers are available in the academic paper section:
The Development Process of the UN/CEFACT Modeling Methodology gives and overview about the UMM 2.0 standard and explains the new features using an example from the waste management domain.
An Add-In for UN/CEFACT´s Modeling Methodology 2.0 introduces the new UMM 2.0 Add-In and explains the features of the UMM 2.0 profile for UML, the UMM Quick-Linker, and the UMM validator.
