David Ing on 27 May 09UMM is based in UML, which means it's about modeling the information aspects of businesses. This Wikipedia entry seems underdeveloped, so the description should taken with a grain of salt.

David Ing on 27 May 09UN/CEFACT's Modeling Methodology, commonly known as UMM is a modeling methodology which is developed by UN/CEFACT - United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business. Goal of UMM The primary goal of UMM is to caputure Business requirements of inter-organizational Business processes. These requirements result in a platform independent UMM model. The UMM model can then be used to derive deployment artifacts for the IT systems of the participating Business partners. UMM at a glance UMM enables to capture Business knowledge independent of the underlying implementation technology, like Web Services or ebXML. The goal is to specify a global choreography of a Business collaboration serving as an "agreement" between the participating partners in the respective collaboration. Each Business partner derives in turn its local choreography, enabling the configuration of the Business partner's system for the use within a service oriented architecture ( SOA).
