Abstract
We report on our experience in porting ROSES to UML. ROSES is an information systems conceptual modeling language that we had developed prior to UML, which includes some new concepts that make the language attractive, at least in some contexts. However, the recent standarization of UML may make the adoption of non-UML languages very difficult, even if they have some features which may be of interest in general or particular contexts. But UML is in principle extensible, and able to accommodate concepts from non-UML languages. The paper explains how we have expressed those concepts in UML. We have had to give up our own notation, but we expect a considerable gain in availability of CASE tools and ease of adoption by professionals.
