How to specify containment for a Folder
Folder containment applies to Folders and Models that may be contained in a Folder.
In the figure below, the UML diagram outlines the containment scheme of a
paradigm for a sports season. To specify containment for a Folder, follow these
steps.
Create the Folder and item it contains (through insertion, or dragging from the parts
menu)
Connect the item to the Folder
Now, the Folder contains the item.
Example of a Folder containment
FCO
This is a class that is mandatorily abstract. The purpose of this class is to enable
objects that are inherently different (Atom, Reference, Set, etc.) to be able to inherit
from a common base class.
To avoid confusion with the generalization of modeling concepts (Model, Atom, Set,
Connection, Reference) called collectively an “FCO”, and this kind of object in the
metamodeling environment which is called an “FCO”, the metamodeling concept
(that would actually be dragged into a Paradigm model) will be shown in regular
font, while the generalization of types will be in italics as FCO. An FCO has the Is
Abstract and General Preferences attributes. All FCO-s will also have these
attributes.
How to create an FCO
An FCO (like all FCO-s) is created by dragging in the atom corresponding to its
stereotype, or inserting the atom through the menu.
