Ownership of Association ends by an associated Classifier may be indicated graphically by a small filled circle, which for brevity we will term a dot.
Full quote
The dot is to be drawn integral to the graphic path of the line, at the point where it meets the Classifier, inserted between the end of the line and the side of the node representing the Classifier.
Next snippet
The dot shows that the model includes a Property of the type represented by the Classifier touched by the dot. This Property is owned by the Classifier at the other end.
Related snippets
Navigability notation was often used in the past according to an informal convention, whereby non-navigable ends were assumed to be owned by the Association whereas navigable ends were assumed to be owned by the Classifier at the opposite end. DEPRECATED.
Aggregation type, navigability, and end ownership are separate concepts, each with their own explicit notation. Association ends owned by classes are always navigable, while those owned by associations may be navigable or not.

An “X” on a single end of an association to indicate that an end is not navigable has similarly been dropped, as has the use of a small filled dot at the end of an association to indicate that the end is owned by the associated classifier.
