UML color standards are a set of four colors associated with Unified Modeling Language UML diagrams. The coloring system indicates which of several archetypes apply to the UML object. UML typically identifies a stereotypeUMLstereotype with a bracketed comment for each object identifying whether it is a class, interface, etc. These colors were first suggested by Peter Coad , Eric Lefebvre , and Jeff De Luca in a series of articles in The Coad Letter , ref TheCoadLetter ref TheCoadLetter44 and later published in their book Java Modeling In Color With UML . ref Coad Over hundreds of domain models, it became clear that four major types of classes appeared again and again just named differently to suit the domain. These were termed archetypes after much discussion which is meant to convey that the classes of a given archetype follow more or less the same form. That is, attribute computing attributes , method computer science methods , association object oriented programming associations , and protocol object oriented programming interfaces are fairly similar among classes of a given archetype. When attempting to classify a given domain class, one typically asks about the color standards in this order pink moment interval Does it represent a moment or interval of time? An example would be an object that temporarily stores login information during the authentication process. yellow roles &mdash Is it a way of participating in an activity by either a person, place, or thing ?

A classifier is a namespace computer science namespace whose method computer science members can specify a generalization hierarchy by referencing its general classifiers.
