Associations

Lutaml supports different types of associations: composition, aggregation, generalization, inheritance, direct. Lutaml uses association blocks in order to declare associations. Syntax:

association name {
 owned_type association|composition|aggregation|generalization|uses

 member_type association|composition|aggregation|generalization|uses

 owned association_name[#attribute_name] [{property_string}][cardinality]

 member association_name[#attribute_name] [{property_string}][cardinality]
}

where:

owned_type - optional, use to define bidirectional association(association|composition|aggregation|generalization|uses)

member_type - association type(association|composition|aggregation|generalization|uses)

owned|member - end of association, use \#attribute_name to set a role name

property_string - property string for attibutes associations

cardinality - examples: '1..*', '\*'
