I don't know UML well enough to be sure, but I *think* it can't
represent a keyed table. I'm hoping someone will tell me differently,
though. I've only been using UML class diagrams for about six months,
so I could be overlooking something.

I'd definitely like to hear from others on the committee or in the community!

So it would not be advisable to use it just yet, I would think.
