Class UML 2.5::Dependency
Description:
A Dependency is a Relationship that signifies that a single model Element or a set of model Elements requires other model Elements for their specification or implementation. This means that the complete semantics of the client Element(s) are either semantically or structurally dependent on the definition of the supplier Element(s).Direct Superclasses: DirectedRelationship, PackageableElementDirect Subclasses: Usage, Deployment, AbstractionClass Precedence List: Dependency, DirectedRelationship, Relationship, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, NamedElement, ElementProperties:
client : NamedElement (1 *); -- source 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.Subsets: DirectedRelationship.source
