An association describes discrete connections among objects or other instances in a system.An association is often established between two classes (binary associations), but can be established between several classes (nary associations). An association can be related to a ClassAssociation that may for example provide attributes and operations.The connections to the associated classes are specified through the AssociationEnd metaclass.The “AssociationEnd" metaclass will provide the properties of an association, such as cardinalities, navigability, etc. Aggregation is a specific case of association. An Association under Objecteering physically belongs to no other elements. It has a specific behavior during transfer, copy/past, depending wether the connected classes are transferred in conjunction or not.
