Chapter 2 Building an Object-Oriented Model
Defining associations
| An association represents a structural relationship between objects of |
| different classes. An association is drawn as a solid line between pairs of |
| classes. |
| You can define an association between two classes, or between a class and an |
| interface. |
| An association may have a name to clarify the nature of the relationship |
| between the associated classes. The name of the association is usually |
| omitted when end names are used. |
Association Ends | Each end of an association may have a name that describes the role that each |
| class plays as viewed by the opposite class. |
