A.1 Metamodel for UML 1.3/1.4

Column "Attributes" provides the name of the attributes, column "Type" indicates if the attribute is a data or cross-reference attribute, column "Mult." indicates the multiplicity of the attribute ("one" for single-valued, "many" for multi-valued attributes).

Attribute	Type	Multi.	Description
context	ref	one	Owner of the element in the UML model.
id	data	one	Unique identifier of the model element.
name	data	one	Name of the element in UML model.
stereotypes	ref	many	The stereotypes of the model element.

Table 6: Default attributes for the UML1.x metamodel

In Table 7, column "Model Element" lists all elements of the UML1.4 metamodel. The remaining columns provide the details about all further attributes the metamodel elements have in addition to the default attributes in Table 6.
