Dependency
A dependency states that the implementation or functioning of one or more elements requires the presence of one or more other elements. There are several stereotypes of dependencies (other kinds of dependencies are managed directly as links):
- derive: Specifies a derivation relationship among model elements that are usually, but not necessarily, of the same type. A derived dependency specifies that the client may be computed from the supplier.
- refine: Specifies refinement relationship between model elements at different semantic levels, such as analysis and design.
- trace: Specifies a trace relationship between model elements or sets of model elements that represent the same concept in different models.
- mapping UML/XML: A MappingExpression that states the relationship between the elements (classes, attributes, ...) of a schema or a class diagram and those of an other schema or class diagram.
- binding: A binding is a relationship between a template and a model element generated from the template. It includes a list of arguments matching the template parameters.
