Detailed Description

A name is used to identify a model element uniquely within some scope.

A name is displayed as a text string graphic. Normally a name is displayed on a single line and will not contain nonprintable characters. Tools and languages may impose reasonable limits on the length of strings and the character set they use for names, possibly more restrictive than those for arbitrary strings, such as comments.
