Description
Extends a classifier with the capability to own use cases. Although the owning classifier typically represents the subject
to which the owned use cases apply, this is not necessarily the case. In principle, the same use case can be applied to multiple
subjects, as identified by the subject
association role of a UseCase (see UseCase (from UseCases ) on page
620
).
