 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A classifier that specifies a domain of objects without defining the physical implementation of those objects. For example, a Component stereotyped by «Specification» will only have provided and required interfaces, and is not intended to have any realizingClassifiers as part of its definition. This differs from «Type» because a «Type» can have features such as attributes and methods that are useful to analysts modeling systems. Also see: «Realization».
