Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Responsibility:
• UML Generalizations define Responsibility inheritance (SV-1 Systems Interface Definition).
• Forecast relationships link a Responsibility to forecasted future Responsibility elements.
• Implements relationships link a Responsibility to the Performer (Operational) elements it implements.
• Activity Performed by Performer relationships to link a Responsibility to the Activity (System) elements that can be performed by the Responsibility.
• Required Skill and Typical Skill Of Person Role Type relationships link the Responsibility to the Skill elements that are required or provided by that Responsibility.
• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.
The following sections provide information about how a Responsibility is used in the model.
