Class UML 2.5::Realization
Description:
Realization is a specialized Abstraction relationship between two sets of model Elements, one representing a specification (the supplier) and the other represents an implementation of the latter (the client). Realization can be used to model stepwise refinement, optimizations, transformations, templates, model synthesis, framework composition, etc.Direct Superclasses: AbstractionDirect Subclasses: Substitution, InterfaceRealization, ComponentRealizationClass Precedence List: Realization, Abstraction, Dependency, DirectedRelationship, Relationship, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, NamedElement, ElementProperties:
mapping : OpaqueExpression (0 1); -- source Abstraction
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
