Port

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).
