public abstract class Classifier

extends GeneralizableElement

A classifier is an element that describes behavioral and structural features; it comes in several specific forms, including class, data type, interface, and others that are defined in other metamodel packages.

In the metamodel a Classifier declares a collection of Features, such as Attributes, Methods, and Operations. It has a name, which is unique in the Namespace enclosing the Classifier. Classifier is an abstract metaclass.
