Chapter 2. Object Orientation with UML 2.0 Structural Aspects

The first primary aspect of the UML involves the specification of structure; that is, the organization of elements that exist at runtime, their internal organization, and the organization of elements in interactions. Additionally, the structural aspects of the UML allow you to identify the design-time types of these elements that exist at runtime and the relations among both the type and the instances of those types.
