Understanding the UML model hierarchy and Project Explorer view
A Unified Modeling Language (UML) model is a collection
of UML elements, diagrams, and data, such as relationships and requirements
information, that describe a real-world system. A software architect
uses UML to build models that describe the quantifiable characteristics
of a system such as the system's structure, behavior, constraints,
and dependencies. The building blocks of a UML model are called model
elements. Model elements are the data representation of a real world
object, actor, or system.
This tutorial is intended for users with little or no
experience with the IBM® Rational® modeling
tools.
