How does UML relate to other Modeling Languages?

How does UML relate to OMT, Booch, OOSE, and other modeling
languages?

[Avijeet Dash]

To me,
each of these have some differences in the process and diagrammtic notations.
it can be good idea to use some usefull constructs in the other models while using UML.

Ken,
Actually the UML was created mainly from OMT, Booch, and OOSE... In fact, the creators of each of these methods ( a method is a notation plus a process ) worked together to create the UML. That's why it's called the Unified Modeling Language. It's a unification of all the previous notations used. However, it's only a notation, not a full methodology, since it doesn't layout a process to follow.
HTH,

As noted above UML is the unification of OMT, Booch & OOSE. From a notational standpoint OMT is more equal than the others. If you know OMT you probably know 75% or more of UML.
