public class Actor

extends Classifier

An actor defines a coherent set of roles that users of an entity can play when interacting with the entity. An actor has one role for each use case with which it communicates.

In the metamodel Actor is a subclass of Classifier. An Actor has a Name and may communicate with a set of UseCases, and, at realization level, with Classifiers taking part in the realization of these UseCases. An Actor may also have a set of Interfaces, each describing how other elements may communicate with the Actor.

An Actor may inherit other Actors. This means that the inheriting Actor will be able to play the same roles as the inherited Actor, i.e. communicate with the same set of UseCases, as the inherited Actor.
