Property |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Name |
Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users. Not compulsory since you can have an object representing an unnamed instance of a class or interface, but if omitted, you need to supply the class or interface name in the Classifier box. The name should be unique per class or interface. Two objects could share the same name only if they belong to two different classes or interfaces. |
|
Code |
Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts. |
|
Comment |
Descriptive comment for the object. |
|
Stereotype |
Extends the semantics of the object beyond the core UML definition. |
|
Classifier |
Specifies the class or interface of which an object is an instance. You can link an object to an existing class or interface, or create a new one using the Create Class button beside this box. For more information, see Linking a class or interface to an object. |
