Class UML 2.4.1::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).

DependencyThe element(s) dependent on the supplier element(s). In some cases (such
as a Trace Abstraction) the assignment of direction (that is, the designation
of the client element) is at the discretion of the modeler, and is a stipulation.
