Class UML 2.3::CollaborationUse
Description:
A collaboration use represents one particular use of a collaboration to
explain the relationships between the properties of a classifier. A collaboration
use shows how the pattern described by a collaboration is applied in a
given context, by binding specific entities from that context to the roles
of the collaboration. Depending on the context, these entities could be
structural features of a classifier, instance specifications, or even roles
in some containing collaboration. There may be multiple occurrences of
a given collaboration within a classifier, each involving a different set
of roles and connectors. A given role or connector may be involved in multiple
occurrences of the same or different collaborations. Associated dependencies
map features of the collaboration type to features in the classifier. These
dependencies indicate which role in the classifier plays which role in
the collaboration.

roleBinding :
Dependency (0 *); -- source
CollaborationUse type :
Collaboration (1 1); -- source
CollaborationUse The collaboration which is used in this occurrence. The collaboration defines
the cooperation between its roles which are mapped to properties of the
classifier owning the collaboration use.

ElementConstraints:
Signature: every_role() : Boolean;
Description: Every role in the collaboration is bound within the collaboration use to
a connectable element within the owning classifier.
Expression: true
Signature: connectors() : Boolean;
Description: The connectors in the classifier connect according to the connectors in
the collaboration
Expression: true
Signature: client_elements() : Boolean;
Description: All the client elements of a roleBinding are in one classifier and all
supplier elements of a roleBinding are in one collaboration and they are
compatible.
Expression: true
