===Structured Classifiers⌘===<br />
[[File:CompositeStructureDiagram.png]]<br />
* '''StructuredClassifiers''' may contain an internal structure of connected elements each of which plays a role in the overall behavior modeled by the StructuredClassifier.<br />
* Each '''ConnectableElement''' represents a participant within the internal structure of a StructuredClassifier; these participants are called roles. <br />
* Roles may be joined by Connectors, and specify configurations of linked instances contained or referenced within an instance of the containing StructuredClassifier.<br />
* A part may be shown by graphical nesting of a box symbol with a solid outline representing the part within the internal structure compartment. <br />
* A role that is not a composition may be shown by graphical nesting of a box symbol with a dashed outline.<br />
====Connectors⌘====<br />
* A '''Connector''' specifies links between two or more instances playing owned or inherited roles within a StructuredClassifier. <br />
* Each link may be realized by something as simple as a pointer or by something as complex as a network connection.<br />
* In contrast to Associations, which specify links between any suitably-typed instance of the associated Classifiers, Connectors specify links between instances playing the connected roles only.<br />
<br />
===Classes⌘===<br />
===Associations⌘===<br />
* An Association classifies a set of tuples representing links between typed instances.<br />
* An AssociationClass is both an Association and a Class.<br />

===Collaborations⌘===<br />
[[File:ClipCapIt-161021-144944.PNG]]<br />
* The primary purpose of '''Collaborations''' is to explain how a system of communicating elements collectively accomplish a specific task or set of tasks without necessarily having to incorporate detail that is irrelevant to the explanation.<br />
* Collaborations are one way that UML may be used to capture design patterns.</div>Filip Stachecki
