 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A classifier that specifies a domain of objects and that also defines the physical implementation of those objects. For example, a Component stereotyped by ÇrealizationÈ will only have realizing Classifiers that implement behavior specified by a separate ÇSpecificationÈ Component. See ÇspecificationÈ. This differs from ÇImplementationClassÈ because an ÇImplementationClassÈ is a realization of a Class that can have features such as attributes and methods that are useful to system designers.
