not sure about online refs, try looking for stuff by grady booch (use cases led
to UML), ivar jacobson and jim rumbaugh (the three amigos). they work for
rational.

uml can be used in two ways, simply a design language (fowler's book has
templates for the graphics used etc) and then also a unified method for
development. it's possible to get some tools that have the UML templates already
incoporated into them. i think that the design aspect is the most useful aspect
of UML and then we would determine our own method/cycle for development.
