Main Description
An interface defines a set of behaviors (a set of operations) offered by a classifier (a class, subsystem or component). A classifier may realize one or more interfaces. An interface may be realized by one or more classifiers. Any classifiers that realize the same interfaces may be substituted for one another in the system. Each interface should provide a unique and well-defined set of operations.
