Background ![To top of page](../../images/top.gif)
Links are shown on collaboration diagrams. A link specifies a path along which
one object can send a message to another.
Naming Standards ![To top of page](../../images/top.gif)
The names of links should start with a lower case letter. The naming of links is
optional.
Documentation ![To top of page](../../images/top.gif)
All Link documentation is optional.
A link can be an instance of an association, or it can be anonymous, meaning that its
association is unspecified. The identification of the association that the link is an
instance of is optional although identifying the associations for all links is good
validation of the underlying model. |
