SysML Open Source Project - What is SysML?

The SysML.org web provides information about the SysML Partners and their SysML open source specification project, which created the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) dialect (profile) of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for systems engineering applications in 2003. Subsequently, the Object Management Group (OMG) adopted a version of SysML as OMG SysML in 2006, and the Software Development Times awarded the SysML Partners with its "SD Times 100" award for industry leadership in the “Modeling” category in 2007.
Since its origins as an open source specification project SysML has evolved into the de facto standard for Model-Based Systems Engineeering (MBSE) applications. For more information about how MBSE approaches apply SysML as a system architecture modeling language check out the MBSEworks.com web.

What is the Systems Modeling Language (SysML)?
The Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is a general-purpose architecture modeling language for Systems Engineering applications.
• SysML supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. These systems may include hardware, software, information, processes, personnel, and facilities.
• SysML is a dialect of UML 2, and is defined as a UML 2 Profile (UML customization that defines language extensions via Stereotypes, Tagged Values, and Constraints.)
• The OMG adopted OMG SysML as a standard in 2006 and continues to maintain it. (The current version is OMG SysML 1.5.)
• SysML is an enabling technology for Model-Based Systems Engineeering (MBSE) applications.
