Full quote The semantics of ElementGroup is modeler-defined. In particular, the body text is not restricted. It can describe the grouped elements as well as elements or values related to the grouped elements. Next snippet Related snippets The ElementGroup stereotype provides a lightweight mechanism for grouping various and possibly heterogeneous model elements by extending the capability of comments to refer to multiple annotated elements. Related snippets (backlinks) The criterion for membership in an element group is specified by the body of the comment the stereotype is applied to. By grouping elements, the modeler asserts that the criterion of the group applies to the member. Optionally, members of an element group can be ordered using its orderedMember property. ElementGroups appear in diagrams as comments, and properties of the stereotype appear in the notation for stereotype properties. Grouped elements are the annotated elements of the comment to which the stereotype is applied. This has several implications: Element groups do not own their elements and thus an element can participate in an unlimited number of groups. The elements in a group are identified by the modeler, as opposed to being the result of a query, as in views. Element groups can be members of other element groups, but this does not imply that members of the first are members of the second. ElementGroup::/criterion : String [0..1] Specifies the rationale for being member of the group. Adding an element to the group asserts that the criterion applies to this element.
