 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Association Class</b></em>'.
 * <!-- end-user-doc -->
 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A link is a tuple of values that refer to typed objects.  An Association classifies a set of links, each of which is an instance of the Association.  Each value in the link refers to an instance of the type of the corresponding end of the Association.
 *
 * A model element that has both Association and Class properties. An AssociationClass can be seen as an Association that also has Class properties, or as a Class that also has Association properties. It not only connects a set of Classifiers but also defines a set of Features that belong to the Association itself and not to any of the associated Classifiers.
