A class diagram is a view of a model that shows a set of packages, classes, interfaces, and their relationships that together represent the logical static design view of a system. A class diagram may contain all or part of the class structure of a system
A classifier is a mechanism that has structural (attributes) and behavioral (operations) features. All objects that can have instances are classifiers
A form of aggregation of an association in which the class is attached to the association role is may be a part of only one composite at a time
An operation that creates and initializes an instance of a class
A type whose values have no identity. Data types include primitive types and enumeration types
A semantic relationship between two modeling elements, in which a change to one modeling element (the independent element) may affect the semantics of the other modeling element (the dependent element)
Set of values for which a data item is valid
A relationship between a more general element (the parent) and a more specific element (the child). The more specific element is fully consistent with the more general element and contains additional information
An identifier is a class attribute, or a combination of class attributes, whose values uniquely identify each occurrence of the class
A class definition within another class definition
A collection of operations used to specify the externally visible behavior of a class, object, or other entity. In the case of a class or object, the interface includes the signatures of the operations
