Semantics
The association “appliedProfile? between a package and a profile crosses metalevels: It links one element from a model (a
kind of package) to an element of its metamodel and represents the set of profiles that define the extensions applicable to
the package. Although this kind of situation is rare in the UML metamodel, this only shows that model and metamodel can coexist
on the same space, and can have links between them.
Notation

Changes from UML 1.4
In UML 1.4, it was not possible to indicate which profiles were applied to a package.
