 * <!-- begin-user-doc -->
 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Composite Role</b></em>'.
 * <!-- end-user-doc -->
 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A special Role Descriptor that relates to more then one Role.  It represents a grouping of Roles with the main purpose of simplification, i.e. reducing the number of roles for a process.
 * A Composite Role is a grouping of Roles that can be used in an Activity or Process to reduce the number of Roles.  A typical application would be a process for a small team in which a standard set of roles from the method content would be all performed by one or more resource.  By using Composite Role the process would suggest a typical clustering of Roles to Resources.  A Composite Role could perform all Tasks defined for the Roles it refers to.
