OMG finalizes SoaML

The Object Management Group (OMG) approved a final version of SoaML (short for Service-oriented architecture modeling language) at a meeting in Jacksonville, Florida, last month. SoaML, a profile of UML, is designed to help users design and implement a service-oriented architecture.

SoaML has been in development for several years and has seen adoption in several architecture tool kits. SoaML can be used to improve services modeling and to facilitate Model Driven Architecture, another OMG specification.
