According to different resources in UML notation multiplicities have different forms. Below are some of the forms which can be used in a use-case diagram.
1..1
0..*
1..*
m..m
m..n
In T. Connelly and C. Begg's database systems book, they have provided 5..10 (using cardinality and participation in numbers) in the alternative ways of representing multiplicities. When you draw an entity relationship diagram using UML notation can you use the same multiplicities? Especially I want to know if using m..m is correct in ER diagrams when using UML notation.
UML is not a notation for ERD, but a language of its own with its own semantics. Of course, you can model in UML similar things as in ERD but also lot more.
This being said, n..m is a valid UML notation, when m and n both correspond to values (literals and constants). Note that in UML it is called multiplicity, as it is not to be confused with the number of items in a specific set.
I take the opportunity to warn other readers of this question that this is not to be confused with an N:M relationship in ERD, which in UML would be 0..* 0..* relationship (or with any suitable lower bound, as participation is not indicated in N:M).
