/**

 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * The ExternalReference stereotype is an extension of the UML 2.0 ConnectableElement metaclass (from
 * UML2.0::CompositeStructures::InternalStructures). It identifies a location outside the assembly as an endpoint of a
 * PortConnector. Whether the endpoint is a provider or user port is implied by the URL, and its type is assumed to be
 * compatible with the connection.
