Package Diagram - View Definition

This diagram shows the use of the Expose relationship, which is a graphical device to indicate the elements (including Packages) that are part of the view.  The Requirements and the Verification and Validation Views have outgoing Expose relationships that target a number of elements in the model. This provides a powerful way of indicating the elements involved in the view; for example, it can be seen from the diagram that the Hybrid SUV Requirements view exposes the Drive Vehicle Use Case, a Performance Requirement and a Package containing a group of SUV constraints.

Using some of the powerful visualization tools, it would also be possible to visualize which Views a given element participated in, for example the Drive Vehicle Use Case could appear in a number of different Views.
