objects, some of which are more fundamental than others to its
construction and meaning. FrameWork reserves the concept of
model element for the core constructs of a model. These constructs
typically have names and are not dependent on other objects for
their existence. Examples of model elements are classes, activities,
and use cases.
Objects that are not model elements are usually unnamed and are
either objectified relationships or other objects that cannot exist
without the presence of one or more related objects. Examples of
objects that are not model elements are attributes, consumption
relationships, and bidirectional communications.
The #MODEL ELEMENT class is an abstract superclass of a wide
variety of other classes. When you create an object in any of these
classes, that object is automatically an instance of #MODEL
ELEMENT. You can define other individual objects as model
elements by adding them to the #MODEL ELEMENT class. If you
have Enterprise FrameWork Professional, you can define an entire
class of objects as model elements by making the class a subclass of
#MODEL ELEMENT or any of its subclasses.
