4. A universal modeling language (UML) analysis system, comprising: at least one processor; a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by the at least one processor to: import at least one tool-specific UML model from at least one UML tool, capture a snapshot of the at least one tool-specific UML model, wherein the snapshot comprises text data and at least one diagram, translate the at least one tool-specific UML model into at least one transformed UML model having a universal UML format; at least one transforming mechanism configured to translate the at least one tool-specific UML model into the universal UML format, wherein the transforming mechanism is configured to extract base data and one or more associated extended elements from the tool-specific UML model; and a monitor coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to display a model navigation interface on the monitor, and display particular model elements based on commands input through the model navigation interface.

The UML analysis system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one tool-specific UML model comprises a plurality of tool-specific UML models, wherein each of the plurality of tool-specific UML models has a unique tool-specific UML format, and wherein the universal UML format differs from any of the unique tool-specific UML formats.
