Class UML 2.5::Interaction
Description:
An Interaction is a unit of Behavior that focuses on the observable exchange of information between connectable elements.Direct Superclasses: InteractionFragment, BehaviorDirect Subclasses: Class Precedence List: Interaction, InteractionFragment, Behavior, Class, BehavioredClassifier, EncapsulatedClassifier, StructuredClassifier, Classifier, Namespace, Type, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, TemplateableElement, RedefinableElement, NamedElement, ElementProperties:

A Behavior that is directly owned as a nestedClassifier does not have a
context. Otherwise, to determine the context of a Behavior, find the first
BehavioredClassifier reached by following the chain of owner relationships
from the Behavior, if any. If there is such a BehavioredClassifier, then
it is the context, unless it is itself a Behavior with a non-empty context,
in which case that is also the context for the original Behavior. For example,
following this algorithm, the context of an entry Behavior in a StateMachine
is the BehavioredClassifier that owns the StateMachine. The features of
the context BehavioredClassifier as well as the Elements visible to the
context Classifier are visible to the Behavior.{readonly, derived}
