Class UML 2.3::Abstraction
Description:
An abstraction is a relationship that relates two elements or sets of elements that represent the same concept at different levels of abstraction or from different viewpoints.Direct Superclasses: DependencyDirect Subclasses: Realization, ManifestationClass Precedence List: Abstraction, Dependency, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, NamedElement, DirectedRelationship, Relationship, ElementProperties:
mapping : OpaqueExpression (0 1); -- source Abstraction client : NamedElement (1 *); -- source Dependency
supplier : NamedElement (1 *); -- source 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.Subsets: DirectedRelationship.target
