This property specifies that the Ternary Association can be associated with no items or one item. On the Class Diagram this multiplicity is shown as follows:
Zero or more
This property specifies that the Ternary Association can be associated with any number of items, including no items. On the Class Diagram this multiplicity is shown as follows:
Only one
This property specifies that the Ternary Association can be associated with one (and only one) item. On the Class Diagram this multiplicity is shown as follows:
One or more
This property specifies that the Ternary Association can be associated with any number of items, except none. On the Class Diagram this multiplicity is shown as follows:
Tbd
This property specifies that the multiplicity is to be decided. On the Class Diagram this multiplicity is shown as follows:
