But it's not the only way. SysMLv1: "Should" the 'subject' of a top-level UseCase be a System or (a particular) SystemContext? Answer: Which one would you like to be correct!? [WITH EXTERNAL LINKS] SysMLv1: A common misunderstanding: Just because a UseCase symbol appears inside the rectangle of a subject Classifier does NOT mean that it is owned by that Classifier and can only have that one Classifier as 'subject', and it does not imply ownership! Webel: SysMLv1: Overview of annotated Diagram Slides and Note pages related to UseCases and their combination with a System (of interest), SystemContext, and drill-down to scenario Sequence Diagrams (Interactions) and Activity Diagrams.

Full quote Note that this notation for the subject classifier differs from the normal Classifier notation – it has no header or compartments. Next snippet Note also that the subject rectangle does not imply that the subject classifier owns the contained UseCases, but merely that the UseCases apply to that classifier. In particular, there is scope for confusion between a UseCase appearing visually contained in a boundary rectangle representing a Classifier that is its subject, and appearing visually contained in a compartment of a Classifier that is its owner...
