UML 2.0 Elements for Collaboration Diagrams

Following are elements for collaboration diagrams as defined by UML 2.0:

• Frames: The collaboration diagram is surrounded by a rectangular interaction frame. The interaction name shows in a compartment in the upper left-hand corner of the frame. In a collaboration diagram, "cd" precedes the interaction name.
• Interaction Occurrence: Use the interaction occurrence to reuse interaction definitions.
• Lifeline: Interaction occurrences cover lifelines. You can associate a sequence of events by using a lifeline.
• Uses Link: Use this link between interaction occurrences and lifelines. The "uses" stereotype displays above the link on the diagram.
  
• InterLifelineConnector: Use the InterLifelineConnector to show connections between lifelines. These connectors are associated with number messages that indicate its direction.

NB: By default, Together uses the UML 1.4 specification for modeling diagrams. To enable UML 2.0 support, see Enabling UML 2.0 Features.
