Appendix B - Configuring Stereotypes and
Tagged Value
This chapter explains in detail how to apply Stereotypes and Tagged Value to categorize model elements.
Introduction
Stereotypes allow you to categorize different kinds of model elements. It may specify additional constraints and tag definitions
for the models, and also be used to indicate a difference in meaning or usage between two model elements with an identical
structure. An icon or formatting (fill, line and font) can be specified to a stereotype to present the elements that apply to that
stereotype.
We know that everything in UML contains its own properties. Tagged values let you add properties for specifying keywordvalue
pairs of model elements. You can define tags that apply to a model element or a stereotype.
