/**
* Class Association
*
* An association defines a classification over a set of links, through a relationship between Classifiers. Each link which is an instance of the association denotes a connection between object instances of the Classifiers of the Association. The MOF restricts associations to binary, restricting each link to two participating objects. This restriction also means that the association is defined between two Classifiers (which may be the same Classifier). The name of the Association is considered directional if it
* provides a clearer or more accurate representation of the association when stated with one participating class first rather than the other. For instance, Operation CanRaise Exception is correct; Exception CanRaise Operation is incorrect.
*
* The definition of an Association requires two AssociationEnds. If the name of the association is directional, the name is understood to read in the order: first contained element; association name; second contained element. These contained elements are AssociationEnd instances, and the reading of the subject; verb; object uses either the AssociationEnd name or the AssociationEnd's class name. The onus is on the MOF user to determine whether the name is directional, and to place the AssociationEnds in proper order within the Association's contents to support the name direction. The representation of a Classifier's knowledge of its participation in an association requires the use of a Reference.
