InfrastructureLibrary::Constructs::Package (merge increment)
Description
A package can have one or more ProfileApplication s to indicate which profiles have been applied. Because a profile is a package,
it is possible to apply a profile not only to packages, but also to profiles.
Attributes
No additional attributes
Associations
Issue 9183 -replace ‘appliedProfile’ with ‘profileApplication’ and fixsubsets constraint
• profileApplication : ProfileApplication [*] References the ProfileApplication s that indicate which profiles have been applied
to the Package. Subsets Element::ownedElement.
Constraints
No additional constraints
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
No additional notation
Changes from previous UML
In UML 1.4, it was not possible to indicate which profiles were applied to a package.
