Package

A model element that groups other model elements ("packageable elements") to modularize an ontology. The metamodel permits overlapping packages, but ontologies that need a UML representation should keep packages in a tree structure.

Property	Type	Description
type	"Package"	Discriminator.
contents	id[]	The packageable elements grouped by the package.

Package also carries the properties common to all model elements.

The example below is a Root Package grouping the classes Person and Student — the UML package notation is a tabbed rectangle enclosing its members.
