Defining associations
An association represents a structural relationship between objects of
different classes. An association is drawn as a solid line between pairs of
classes.
You can define an association between two classes, or between a class and an
interface.
An association may have a name to clarify the nature of the relationship
between the associated classes. The name of the association is usually
omitted when end names are used.
Each end of an association may have a name that describes the role that each
class plays as viewed by the opposite class.
