Up     Pattern Markup Language     XML     Language/Protocol     Updated     New
"An XML-based format to describe software patterns. A pattern represents a recurring solution to a software development problem within a particular context. Patterns identify the static and dynamic collaborations and interactions between software components. In general, applying patterns to complex object-oriented applications can significantly improve software quality, increase maintainability and support broad reuse of components and architectural designs.
PML provides what UXF offers to UML for patterns. Therefore, it falititates the interoperability between development tools, intercommunications between software developers and natural extension from the existing Web environment. PML allows to explicitly encode pattern information and to help developing pattern-aware tools easily. PML internally uses UXF."
