A Property is a StructuralFeature. A Property related by ownedAttribute to a Classifier (other than an association) represents an attribute and might also represent an association end. It relates an instance of the Classifier to a value or set of values of the type of the attribute. A Property related by memberEnd to an Association represents an end of the Association. The type of the Property is the type of the end of the Association. A Property has the capability of being a DeploymentTarget in a Deployment relationship. This enables modeling the deployment to hierarchical nodes that have Properties functioning as internal parts. Property specializes ParameterableElement to specify that a Property can be exposed as a formal template parameter, and provided as an actual parameter in a binding of a template. <p>From package UML::Classification.</p>
