specification :
BehavioralFeature (0 1); -- source
Behavior Designates a behavioral feature that the behavior implements. The behavioral
feature must be owned by the classifier that owns the behavior or be inherited
by it. The parameters of the behavioral feature and the implementing behavior
must match. A behavior does not need to have a specification, in which
case it either is the classifer behavior of a BehavioredClassifier or it
can only be invoked by another behavior of the classifier.

Class Determines whether an object specified by this class is active or not.
If true, then the owning class is referred to as an active class. If false,
then such a class is referred to as a passive class.

isFinalSpecialization : Boolean (1 1); -- source
Classifier If true, the Classifier cannot be specialized by generalization. Note that
this property is preserved through package merge operations; that is, the
capability to specialize a Classifier (i.e., isFinalSpecialization =false)
must be preserved in the resulting Classifier of a package merge operation
where a Classifier with isFinalSpecialization =false is merged with a matching
Classifier with isFinalSpecialization =true: the resulting Classifier will
have isFinalSpecialization =false.
