Summary

Objective: Recommendation ITU‑T Z.109 defines a unified modeling language (UML) profile that maps to SDL‑2010 semantics so that UML is able to be used in combination with the ITU‑T Specification and Description Language. Appendix I includes an (informative) Example language specification for a concrete grammar and its mapping to the UML profile.

Coverage: This Recommendation presents a definition of the UML‑to‑SDL‑2010 mapping for use in the combination of SDL‑2010 and UML.

Application: The main area of application of this Recommendation is the specification of telecommunication systems. The combined use of SDL‑2010 and UML permits a coherent way to specify the structure and behaviour of telecommunication systems, together with data.

Status/Stability: This Recommendation is the complete reference manual describing the UML to SDL‑2010 mapping for use in the combination of SDL‑2010 and UML. It replaces the previous Recommendation ITU‑T Z.109 that concerned earlier versions of UML and Specification and Description Language.

Associated work: Recommendations ITU‑T Z.100, ITU‑T Z.101, ITU‑T Z.102, ITU‑T Z.103, ITU‑T Z.104 and ITU‑T Z.107 concerning the ITU‑T Specification and Description Language 2010 (SDL‑2010).
