Detailed description about the sources being used and compiled into VDML

The Value Delivery Modeling Language (VDML) is not a new invention. It is a combination of existing Business Modeling approaches integrated into a single meta-model. Due to this approach, the different Business Modeling approaches can work together on the same data set. This post is about the VDML roots. It is a combination of several small posts that you can find here, grouped together.

The VDML team of the Object Management Group combined the essentials of the individual approaches in to one consistent language (VDML). With this approach, all core competencies learned from the past are taken forward and extended due to this cross-domain approach.
With VDML you have a true business oriented language, with a computer understandable model to enable software builders to build solutions.

More about VDML can be found on the Object Management Group (OMG) website and on the English wikipedia and German wikipedia websites.
