UML provides formally defined constructs and graphical notations for representing the structure and behaviour of systems, particularly software-intensive systems.

-UML defines a modelling language rather than a software development method, an implementation platform, a programming language, or a tool. Development methods and modelling practices may use UML while imposing additional conventions, processes, and constraints.

-UML also provides a foundation for profiles that specialise the language for particular domains or purposes. SysML v1 was defined as a UML profile with additional systems-engineering constructs and restrictions. SysML v2 no longer depends on UML in the same manner.

-A software architect may use a UML component diagram to represent software components and their provided and required interfaces, and use an activity diagram to represent the flow of behaviour among those components.
