/**

 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Profile</b></em>'.
 * <!-- end-user-doc -->
 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A Profile is a kind of Package that extends a reference metamodel. The primary extension construct is the Stereotype, which are defined as part of Profiles.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * A profile introduces several constraints, or restrictions, on ordinary metamodeling through the use of the metaclasses defined in this package.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * A profile is a restricted form of a metamodel that must always be related to a reference metamodel, such as UML, as described below. A profile cannot be used without its reference metamodel, and defines a limited capability to extendmetaclasses of the reference metamodel. The extensions are defined as stereotypes that apply to existing metaclasses.
