Define Multiple-Stereotype Level

An element can have more than one stereotype applied to it. You can define the level to which multiple stereotypes can be applied, by creating the _strictness special attribute in the defining Stereotype element. The type of the attribute is StereotypeStrictnessKind, with one of four values in the Initial Value field:

profile, which states that an element of this type cannot be given more than one stereotype from the same Profile
technology, which states that an element of this type cannot be given more than one stereotype from the same technology
all, which states that an element of this type cannot have multiple stereotypes at all, or
none, which is the default behaviour and states that there are no restrictions on the use of multiple stereotypes

 

The following example is from SysML and shows that a �flowPort� cannot have any other stereotype applied to it.
