/**

 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Model Library</b></em>'.

 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A package that contains model elements that are intended to be reused by other packages. Model libraries are frequently used in conjunction with applied profiles. This is expressed by defining a dependency between a profile and a model library package, or by defining a model library as contained in a profile package. The classes in a model library are not stereotypes and tagged definitions extending the metamodel. A model library is analogous to a class library in some programming languages. When a model library is defined as a part of a profile, it is imported or deleted with the application or removal of the profile. The profile is implicitly applied to its model library. In the other case, when the model library is defined as an external package imported by a profile, the profile requires that the model library be there in the model at the stage of the profile application. The application or the removal of the profile does not affect the presence of the model library elements.
