Snippets (quotes/extracts)
  [SysML-1.6] Allocate is a dependency based on UML::Abstraction. It is a mechanism for associating elements of different types, or in different hierarchies, at an abstract level. Allocate is used for assessing user model consistency and directing future design ...
  [SysML-1.6] It is expected that an «allocate» relationship between model elements is a precursor to a more concrete relationship between the elements, their properties, operations, attributes, or sub-classes.
  [SysML-1.6] Allocate is a stereotype of a UML4SysML::Abstraction that is permissible between any two NamedElements. It is depicted as a dependency with the "allocate" keyword attached to it.
  [SysML-1.6] Allocate is directional in that one NamedElement is the "from" end (no arrow), and one NamedElement is the "to" end (the end with the arrow).
  [SysML-1.6] The Allocate stereotype specializes DirectedRelationshipPropertyPath to enable allocations to identify their sources and targets by a multi-level path of accessible properties from context blocks for the sources and targets.
