| Abstract | The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is becoming a standard for software specification, verification, visualization and documentation. Using the rules provided by the standard, software engineers can create models that are concrete and unambiguous.UML creators Booch, Rumbaugh and Jacobson, have defined the standard using UML terminology: they use model elements to define the standard. This way of representing UML is called UML Metamodel, and it is publicly available along with the English definition of the standard.The UML metamodel is intended for software engineers to verify the correctness of their models. It should be assumed, therefore, that the UML metamodel is itself error free. A close study of the UML metamodel by the authors, however, has shown that this may not be the case.After checking the Metamodel with all the rules, constraints and well-formedness rules defined by the standard, the authors found 450 errors and classified them in three different groups:1. Non-accessible elements: represents the most important problem found in the metamodel, and involves some misunderstandings with the contents method.2. Empty names: some rules of the standard states that some elements could not have the same name. Nevertheless, the standard does not clarify whether there could exist two different elements without name, which could be considered as the same (empty) name.3. Miscellanea: this last group of problems deals with duplicated names and derived associations.This paper analyzes and explains the reason for the errors and presents some suggestions for correcting, what the authors believe, are some deficiencies in UML's current standard. The analysis presented should be valuable to practicing software engineers engaged in software modeling. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
