Component |
|
 |
Represents a shareable piece of implementation of a system. See Components (OOM). |
|
Interface |

 |
Descriptor for the externally visible operations of a class, object, or other entity without specification of internal structure. See Interfaces (OOM). |
|
Port |
|
 |
Interaction point between a classifier and its environment. See Ports (OOM). |
|
Part |
|
 |
Classifier instance playing a particular role within the context of another classifier. See Parts (OOM). |
|
Generalization |
|
 |
A link between a general component and a more specific component that inherits from it and add features to it. See Generalizations (OOM). |
|
Realization |
|
 |
Semantic relationship between classifiers, in which one classifier specifies a contract that another classifier guarantees to carry out. See Realizations (OOM). |
|
Require Link |
|
 |
Connects components to interfaces. See Require Links (OOM). |
|
Assembly Connector |
|
 |
Connects parts to each other. See Assembly Connectors (OOM). |
|
Delegation Connector |
|
 |
Connects parts to ports on the outside of components. See Delegation Connectors (OOM). |
|
Dependency |
|
 |
Relationship between two modeling elements, in which a change to one element will affect the other element. See Dependencies (OOM). |
