摘要：

Unified Modelling Language (UML) is one of the widely used object-oriented modelling grammars in the current information system modelling process. Initially, UML more focussed on the design phase modelling (system modelling), but recently certain research studied identified that UML can appropriately be used in analysis phase modelling (conceptual modelling) also. Nevertheless, still it is unclear that whether UML is capable of representing any given real world scenario precisely using its' grammatical constructs and rules, during the conceptual modelling process. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is to (1) identify all the real world domain characteristics to be represented using the grammatical constructs and rules of UML. Subsequently, certain guidelines will be proposed to: (2) define UML based grammatical rules for the conceptual level to represent the real world domain characteristics completely and clearly using UML (3) transform the UML based grammatical ruled defined at the conceptual level into system level with no missing information.
