In some cases, we also offer workarounds and advice for users. All issues tracked on our public site are offered most constructively and with sincerest gratitude to the tool vendors and technology developers.

In Unified Modeling Language (UML®), while the /source and /target of DirectedRelationship are Elements, their subsetted forms client and supplier in Dependency (and thus Abstraction) must be NamedElements, which excludes Slot (which directly extends Element).

Note that UML «Trace» is a Standard Profile stereotype applicable to Abstraction. SysML Trace extends and adapts the UML «Trace».
