Class UML 2.5::InformationFlow
Description:
InformationFlows describe circulation of information through a system in
a general manner. They do not specify the nature of the information, mechanisms
by which it is conveyed, sequences of exchange or any control conditions.
During more detailed modeling, representation and realization links may
be added to specify which model elements implement an InformationFlow and
to show how information is conveyed. InformationFlows require some kind
of information channel for unidirectional transmission of information
items from sources to targets. They specify the information channel
s realizations, if any, and identify the information that flows along
them. Information moving along the information channel may be represented
by abstract InformationItems and by concrete Classifiers.
