Relationships in UML

Relationships in UML


In UML, a relationship is a connection between model elements. A UML relationship is a type of model element that adds semantics to a model by defining the structure and behavior between the model elements.
UML relationships are grouped into the following categories:
Category Function
Activity edges Represent the flow between activities
Associations Indicate that instances of one model element are connected to instances of another model element
Dependencies Indicate that a change to one model element can affect another model element
Generalizations Indicate that one model element is a specialization of another model element
Realizations Indicate that one model element provides a specification that another model element implements
Transitions Represent changes in state
You can set properties and use keywords to create variations of these relationships.
