Class UML 2.3::Realization
Description:
Realization is a specialized abstraction relationship between two sets
of model elements, one representing a specification (the supplier) and
the other represents an implementation of the latter (the client). Realization
can be used to model stepwise refinement, optimizations, transformations,
templates, model synthesis, framework composition, etc.

Dependency The element(s) independent of the client element(s), in the same respect
and the same dependency relationship. In some directed dependency relationships
(such as Refinement Abstractions), a common convention in the domain of
class-based OO software is to put the more abstract element in this role.
Despite this convention, users of UML may stipulate a sense of dependency
suitable for their domain, which makes a more abstract element dependent
on that which is more specific.
