[Sigia-l] UiaML?

[Andrea Resmini]

Ziya,

> My main question was, why?

Well, I think the author is in the best position to do that, given the one-man-band nature of his effort so far.
Me, I can only guess *he* felt he missed such a tool. Which is not an answer per se, I know, but I'm not that good at guessing some other guy's intentions from a distance.

> Has UML been used exclusively *among* IAs that I managed to miss?

Mmmhh, in that case I missed them too. But WebUML at least has been given a try in the Academia (even from a number of people I know, mostly CS involved in what they call 'web site design').

> Hasn't UML been *always* tied at one end to developers?

Plain UML, yes. Variants such as WebUML, nope. But it definitely smells like CS nonetheless. 

> So is this to confuse developers, with yet another variant of UML?

Hey, that's a plan. I like it.

> What problem does it solve again?

The never-ending human necessity for structure and order? ;)
