Attribute Group
An Attribute Group Class is used to group a set of «XSDattribute» stereotyped UML attributes and Simple Type Classes that can be referenced from an «XSDcomplexType» stereotyped Class. You can create it by dragging the 'Attribute Group' icon from the XML Schema Toolbox and dropping it directly onto a diagram.
