Activities can be represented in activity diagram s An activity can represent the invocation of an operation, a step in a business process , or an entire business process. Activities can be decomposed into subactivities, until at the bottom where we find atomic actions . The underlying conception of an activity has changed between UML 1.5 and UML 2.0.

Extension mechanisms allow refining standard semantics in strictly additive manner, so that they can t contradict standard semantics. ref Si Alhir, S Guide to applying the UML , page 350. Springer, 2002 ref Profiles are defined using stereotype UML stereotype s, tag definitions, and constraints that are applied to specific model elements, such as Classes, Attributes, Operations, and Activities. A Profile is a collection of such extensions that collectively customize UML for a particular domain e.g., aerospace, healthcare, financial or platform J2EE, .NET .

Unreferenced date October 2006 Context date October 2009 A classifier is a category of Unified Modeling Language UML UML element elements that have some common features, such as Attribute computing attribute s or Method computer science method s. A classifier is an Abstraction computer science abstract metaclass classification concept that serves as a mechanism to show interface computer science interfaces , Class computer science classes , datatypes and component diagram components . A classifier describes a set computer science set of instantiation computer science instances that have common behavioral and structural features Instruction computer science operations and attribute computing attributes , respectively . A classifier is a namespace computer science namespace whose method computer science members can specify a generalization hierarchy by referencing its general classifiers. A classifier is a type and can own generalizations, thereby making it possible to define generalization relationships to other classifiers. A classifier is a redefinable element, as it is possible to redefine nested classifiers. All Object computer science objects that can have instances are classifiers.

Usage When organizing functional models use case models, workflow models etc. , use packages to model the real world modular structure of the system being modeled. When organizing source code, use packages to represent the different layers of the source code. For instance Presentation logic presentation layer controller layer data access layer integration layer business services layer When organizing component models, use packages to group the components according to ownership and or reuse possibilities.
