Annotations

ded:ElementName: RelationshipLinkAMultiplicity

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 A that must exist for a single instance of B and the greatest (or maximum) number of instances of A that can exist for a single instance of B.
