public class Collaboration

extends Namespace

A collaboration describes how an operation or a classifier, like a use case, is realized by a set of classifiers and associations used in a specific way. The collaboration defines a context for performing tasks defined by interactions.

In the metamodel a Collaboration contains a set of ClassifierRoles and AssociationRoles, which represent the Classifiers and Associations that take part in the realization of the associated Classifier or Operation. The Collaboration may also contain a set of Interactions that are used for describing the behavior performed by Instances conforming to the participating ClassifierRoles.

A Collaboration specifies a view (restriction, slice, projection) of a model of Classifiers. The projection describes the required relationships between Instances that conform to the participating ClassifierRoles, as well as the required subset of the Features of these Classifiers. Several Collaborations may describe different projections of the same set of Classifiers. Hence, a Classifier can be a base for several ClassifierRoles.

A Collaboration may also reference a set of ModelElements, usually Classifiers and Generalizations, needed for expressing structural requirements, such as Generalizations required between the Classifiers themselves to fulfill the intent of the Collaboration.
