Abstract

In this paper we discuss a framework by which one might approach questions of consistency in UML. The framework derives from work undertaken in the Open Distributing Processing (ODP) standardisation initiative which looked at consistency checking across the ODP viewpoints.

This work has resonance with some of the problems facing those using the many different aspects of UML, and the purpose of this paper is to discuss how the existing work could be applied in a UML context.
