Annotation Type Alias

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Alias

This stereotype provides modelling-context specific alternative names for UML named elements within a model. While a UML logical model often differs greatly from a physical model for example, the intent is to provide enough naming and other context specific information to make the physical model entirely reflective or derivitive of the UML logical model. In other words support the generation of multiple context-specific models from a single UML logical model. Modelling context specific names or aliases are particularly important as they often differ greatly between modelling contexts due to various standard naming conventions or technology limitations such as name length.
