A dependency is a directed (supplier - client) relationship used when some element or a set of elements requires (needs) other elements for specification or implementation.

A dependency implies the semantics of the client is not complete without the supplier. It means, for example, that modification of the "supplier" may impact the "client" elements.

Subclasses of dependency are usage, abstraction, deployment.

What is the history of Unified Modeling Language?

OverviewThe Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to specify, visualise, modify, construct and document the artifacts of an object-oriented software intensive system under development.[1] UML offers a standard way to visualize a system's architectural blueprints, including elements such as:actorsbusiness processes(logical) componentsactivitiesprogramming language statementsdatabase schemas, andreusable software components.[2]UML combines best techniques from data modeling (entity relationship diagrams), business modeling (work flows), object modeling, and component modeling. It can be used with all processes, throughout the software development life cycle, and across different implementation technologies.[3] UML has synthesized the notations of the Booch method, the Object-modeling technique (OMT) and Object-oriented software engineering (OOSE) by fusing them into a single, common and widely usable modeling language. UML aims to be a standard modeling language which can model concurrent and distributed systems. UML is a de facto industry standard, and is evolving under the auspices of the Object Management Group (OMG). OMG initially called for information on object-oriented methodologies that might create a rigorous software modeling language. Many industry leaders have responded in earnest to help create the UML standard.[1]UML models may be automatically transformed to other representations (e.g. Java) by means of QVT-like transformation languages, supported by the OMG. UML is extensible, offering the following mechanisms for customization: profiles and stereotype. The semantics of extension by profiles have been improved with the UML 2.0 major revision.
