Terminology and concepts

a note is a graphical Symbol for rendering constraints or comments attached to an element or a collection of elements. Graphically, a note is rendered as a rectangle with a dog-eared corner, together with a textual or graphical COMMENT.

Notes is a constraint or description attached to a Components or a graphical symbols for component sets . In graphic representation, a note is displayed as a rectangular box with a dog's ear in the upper right corner, accompanied by a text or graphic to illustrate.

a stereotype is an Extension of the vocabulary of the UML, allowing you-to-create new kinds of building blocks similar to existing ones but s Pecific to your problem. Graphically, a stereotype is rendered as a name enclosed by guillemets (French quotation marks of the form ??

Modelling is an extension of the UML vocabulary that allows you to create new types of building blocks that are similar to existing building blocks, but that are specific to your personal problems. Graphically, a pattern is represented as a name within double quotation marks (the French citation is "") and placed above the name of another component.

Optionally the stereotyped element is rendered by using a new icon associated with that stereotype.

Arbitrarily modeled elements can be represented by using a new icon that is linked to that stereotype.

A Tagged value is a property of a stereotype, allowing the create new information in an element bearing that stereotype. Graphically, a tagged value is rendered as a string of the form name=value within a note attached to the Object.

Tag Value is a property of a pattern that allows you to create new information on a component that assumes that pattern. Graphically, a tag value is represented as a string of characters, such as the name = value , appended to a comment in the object.

a constraint is A Textual specification of the semantics of a UML element, allowing the add new rules or to modify existing ones. Graphically, a constraint is rendered as a string enclosed by brackets and placed near the associated element or connected To, element or elements by dependency relationships. As an alternative, you can render a constraint in a note.

Constraints is a text that describes the semantics of UML components, allowing you to add new rules or modify existing components. Graphically, a constraint is represented as a string of strings enclosed by a pair of parentheses, and placed near the associated component or near the dependency of that component or component group. As an alternative, you can show a constraint in a comment.
