Classifier
A classification of instances. A Classifier describes a set of instances that have something in common. A Classifier can have Features that characterize those instances.
A Classifier is an abstract view of the most important metaclasses such as Class, UseCase, Actor, Component and Node. A Classifier notably factorizes the aggregation to Features. The Classifier can act as a structured Classifier (as defined in UML 2.0). In this case, its internal structure, which expresses its configuration in terms of Parts and Ports, is defined through a dedicated Collaboration. A Classifier is owned by a NameSpace.
