Class UML 2.3::Dependency
Description:
A dependency is a relationship that signifies that a single or a set of model elements requires other model elements for their specification or implementation. This means that the complete semantics of the depending elements is either semantically or structurally dependent on the definition of the supplier element(s).Direct Superclasses: PackageableElement, DirectedRelationshipDirect Subclasses: Usage, Deployment, AbstractionClass Precedence List: Dependency, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, NamedElement, DirectedRelationship, Relationship, ElementProperties:

of nested Namespaces. It is constructed from the names of the containing
namespaces starting at the root of the hierarchy and ending with the name
of the NamedElement itself.{readonly, derived}
