OCL Conformance
This group validates an element, relationship or attribute against any defined constraints in the Object Constraint Language (OCL). OCL is used to describe expressions on UML models, and to express constraints free of side-effects. You can add OCL constraints to any element, relationship or attribute in Enterprise Architect.

Notes
| • | To have a valid OCL constraint, the syntax must be correctly formed; if the expression is not correct, Enterprise Architect displays a message stating that the OCL constraint is not valid |
