Creating a Package
A package partitions the domain and the associated work. It is designed to contain the modeled elements. Graphical representation of all or of certain of these elements is in a class diagram.
A database can be connected to a data model from the time of its creation. It is on this database that the different data processing tools can then be run (generation, synchronization etc.). The database package is the default owner of the classes and associations represented in the class diagram.
