This initiative aims at providing researchers with a list of open source projects that use UML. The dataset includes links to more than 93 000 UML files (spread across more than 24 000 GitHub repositories).

The dataset can be found here.

The mirrored information on the dataset can be found here.

The work is based on multiple publications including:
