術語和概念

A note is a graphical symbol for rendering constraints or comments attached to an element or a collection of elements. Graphically, a note is rendered as a rectangle with a dog-eared corner, together with a textual or graphical comment.

備注是1個將束縛或說明附加到1個元件或1個元件集的圖形符號．圖形表現上，1個備注被表現為1個在右上角帶有狗耳朵的矩形方框，連帶有1段文字或是圖形加以說明．

A stereotype is an extension of the vocabulary of the UML, allowing you to create new kinds of building blocks similar to existing ones but specific to your problem. Graphically, a stereotype is rendered as a name enclosed by guillemets ( French quotation marks of the form ?? ), placed above the name of another element.

模式化是UML辭匯表的擴大，允許你創建與已有的構建塊相類似，但專門針對你個人問題的新類型的構建塊．圖形表現上，1個模式化被表現為在雙引號以內的名稱(法國的援用情勢是《》)，放置在另外一個元件的名稱之上．

Optionally the stereotyped element may be rendered by using a new icon associated with that stereotype.

任意地模式化元件可以通過使用關聯到那個模式化的新圖標表現．

A tagged value is a property of a stereotype, allowing you to create new information in an element bearing that stereotype. Graphically, a tagged value is rendered as a string of the form name=value within a note attached to the object.

標簽值是模式的1個屬性，允許你在1個承當那個模式的元件上建立新信息．圖形表現上，1個標簽值被表現為形如名稱=值的1串字符串，附加在對象的1個備注里．

A constraint is a textual specification of the semantics of a UML element, allowing you to add new rules or to modify existing ones. Graphically, a constraint is rendered as a string enclosed by brackets and placed near the associated element or connected to that element or elements by dependency relationships. As an alternative, you can render a constraint in a note.

束縛是1段文本，用以描寫UML元件的語義，允許你加新的規則或是修改現有的元件．圖形表現上，束縛被表現為用1對括弧括起的1串字符串，并被放置在關聯元件的附近或是那個元件或元件組的依賴關系附近．作為替換方案，你可以在1個備注里表現1個束縛．
