A class is a description of a set of objects that share the same attributes, operations, methods, relationships, and semantics. A class may use a set of interfaces to specify collections of operations it provides to its environment.

In the metamodel a Class describes a set of Objects sharing a collection of Features, including Operations, Attributes and Methods, that are common to the set of Objects. Furthermore, a Class may realize zero or more Interfaces; this means that its full descriptor (see Inheritance for the definition) must contain every Operation from every realized Interface (it may contain additional operations as well).

A Class defines the data structure of Objects, although some Classes may be abstract, i.e. no Objects can be created directly from them. Each Object instantiated from a Class contains its own set of values corresponding to the StructuralFeatures declared in the full descriptor. Objects do not contain values corresponding to BehavioralFeatures or class-scope Attributes; all Objects of a Class share the definitions of the BehavioralFeatures from the Class, and they all have access to the single value stored for each class-scope attribute.
