In UML modeling, a manifestation relationship shows which model elements, such as components or classes, are manifested in an artifact. The artifact manifests, or includes, a specific implementation for, the features of one or several physical software components.
Typically, manifestation relationships do not have names.
As the following figure illustrates, a manifestation relationship is displayed as a dashed line with an open arrow at one end. The keyword «manifestation» appears beside to the dashed line.
