*Composite structure diagram

A composite structure diagram depicts the internal structure of a classifier, as well as the use of a collaboration in a collaboration use.

Graphical nodes

Additional graphical nodes that can be included in composite structure diagrams are shown in Table 9.1 .

Table 9.1 - Graphic nodes included in composite structure diagrams

Node Type	Notation	Reference

Part	partName : ClassName	See Property (from InternalStructures ) on page 190.
Port	portName: ClassifierName	See Ports on page 186. A port may appear either on a contained part representing a port on that part, or on the boundary of the class diagram, representing a port on the represented classifier itself. The optional ClassifierName is only used if it is desired to specify a class of an object that implements the port.
Collaboration	CollaborationName	See Collaboration on page 175.
CollaborationUse	usageName : CollaborationName	See CollaborationUse (from Collaborations ) on page 178.
