ded:ElementName: RelationshipLinkBMultiplicity
ded:ElementDefinition: This element follows the UML section 7.8.8 (MultiplicityElement)
definition "A multiplicity is a definition of an inclusive
interval of non-negative integers beginning with a lower bound and ending with a (possibly
infinite) upper bound.
A MultiplicityElement embeds this information to specify the allowable cardinalities
for an instantiation of the Element."
The exact tailoring of the UML is shown in the DES. Example notations [0..1], [0..*],
[0..n] [1..1], [1..*], [1..n], [n..m].
Note that n and m here are variables that represent finite numbers. Actual use in
a DED would replace n and m with
the finite number(s) appropriate for the Relationship. For example, [0..6] means
the Relationship is optional and can have up to 6 instances.
[1..5] means the Relationship is required and can have up to 5 instances.
This element indicates the multiplicity of instances of
B that must exist for a single instance of A and the greatest (or maximum) number
of instances of B that can exist for a single instance of A.
