The [UML](/source/Unified_Modeling_Language) profile for **Enterprise Distributed Object Computing** (**EDOC**) is a standard of the [Object Management Group](/source/Object_Management_Group) in support of open distributed computing using [model-driven architecture](/source/Model-driven_architecture) and [service-oriented architecture](/source/Service-oriented_architecture). Its aim is to simplify the development of component based (EDOC) systems by providing a UML-based modeling framework conforming to the [MDA](/source/Model_Driven_Architecture) of the [OMG](/source/Object_Management_Group).

The basis of **EDOC** is the [Enterprise Collaboration Architecture](/source/Enterprise_Collaboration_Architecture), **ECA**, [meta model](/source/Meta-modeling) that defines how roles interact within communities in the performance of collaborative business processes.

## The seven EDOC specifications

EDOC is composed of seven specifications:

1. The [Enterprise Collaboration Architecture](/source/Enterprise_Collaboration_Architecture), **ECA**

1. The [Metamodel and UML Profile for Java and EJB](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metamodel_and_UML_Profile_for_Java_and_EJB&action=edit&redlink=1)

1. The [Flow Composition Model](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flow_Composition_Model&action=edit&redlink=1), **FCM**

1. The [UML Profile for Patterns](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UML_Profile_for_Patterns&action=edit&redlink=1)

1. The [UML Profile for ECA](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UML_Profile_for_ECA&action=edit&redlink=1)

1. The [UML Profile for Meta Object Facility](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UML_Profile_for_Meta_Object_Facility&action=edit&redlink=1)

1. The [UML Profile for Relationships](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UML_Profile_for_Relationships&action=edit&redlink=1)
