Class UML 2.4.1::AssociationClass
Description:
A model element that has both association and class properties. An AssociationClass
can be seen as an association that also has class properties, or as a class
that also has association properties. It not only connects a set of classifiers
but also defines a set of features that belong to the relationship itself
and not to any of the classifiers.

ElementProperties:
extension :
Extension (0 *); -- source
Class isAbstract : Boolean (1 1); -- source
ClassIf true, the Classifier does not provide a complete declaration and can
typically not be instantiated. An abstract classifier is intended to be
used by other classifiers e.g. as the target of general metarelationships
or generalization relationships. True when a class is abstract.

ElementConstraints:
Signature: disjoint_attributes_ends() : Boolean;
Description: The owned attributes and owned ends of an AssociationClass are disjoint
Expression: ownedAttribute->intersection(ownedEnd)->isEmpty()
Signature: cannot_be_defined() : Boolean;
Description: An AssociationClass cannot be defined between itself and something else.
The OCL used here is not normative.Editor's notes: (1) allParents not allparents,(2) -> not > (3) Need a forAll to deal with collection of Boolean???
Expression: self.endType->excludes(self) and self.endType->collect(et|et.allParents()->excludes(self))->forAll(x|x)
Original: self.endType->excludes(self) and self.endType>collect(et|et.allparents()->excludes(self))
Operations:
No additional operations.
