I have a bit of an odd question which I may have asked before (not sure). Is it possible to bring elements into a model as links? If so, how?
As an example, let's say I have project with 2 models: Model A and Model B.
Model A contains
- classes such as Person, Organisation, Party, E-mail Address, Postal Address and Vehicle, Building, and any classes used to relate all of the above
- structural models showing the relationships
Model B contains a list of Domains - e.g., Who (People and Organisations), Where (Geographic Locations), What (Assets) and so on, witch each domain being a Package.
Is there a way of linking People and Organisation to Who, E-mail Address and Postal Address to Where, Vehicle and Building to what and so without having to duplicate the elements?
The nearest I go to reproducing this behaviour is to create a package and bring the entities as link into a diagram within the package. Of course, they are not really in the package and as a result any linked elements do not show up in the a package diagram, the package diagram only shows elements physically contained in the package.
P.S.: Yes, I know am using one model, Model B in this example, to classify another model. By the way, in reality this a bit more complicated but it is a good starting point.
