public class Binding

extends Dependency

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. The template is a form that is cloned and modified by substitution to yield an implicit model fragment that behaves as if it were a direct part of the model.

In the metamodel a Binding is a Dependency where the supplier is the template and the client is the instantiation of the template that performs the substitution of parameters of a template. A Binding has a list of arguments that replace the parameters of the supplier to yield the client. The client is fully specified by the binding of the supplier’s parameters and does not add any information of its own.
