A Reference defines a Classifier's knowledge of, and access to, links and their instances defined by an Association. Although a Reference derives much of its state from a corresponding AssociationEnd, it provides additional information; therefore, the MOF cannot adequately represent some meta-models without this mechanism. The inherited attributes defined in StructuralFeature (multiplicity and isChangeable) are constrained to match the values of its corresponding AssociationEnd. However, it has its own visibility, name, and annotation defined.

• A Reference defines a Classifier's knowledge of, and access to, links and their instances defined by an Association. Although a Reference derives much of its state from a corresponding AssociationEnd, it provides additional information; therefore, the MOF cannot adequately represent some meta-models without this mechanism. The inherited attributes defined in StructuralFeature (multiplicity and isChangeable) are constrained to match the values of its corresponding AssociationEnd. However, it has its own visibility, name, and annotation defined.
  

  
  

  Note

  
  When creating a Reference, values for the inherited attributes of multiplicity and isChangeable must be supplied. These must be the same as the corresponding attributes on the AssociationEnd to which the Reference will subsequently be linked.
