Aggregate Block | Abstract An Aggregate Block is a Building Block which has an internal structure made of Aggregate Members which, through nesting (Membership of <Aggregate Member>), contextualizes/aggregates (Aggregation ) external Building Blocks within the Aggregate Block. |

Aggregate Member | Abstract An Aggregate Member is an Entity Element that serves as an internal constituent of an Aggregate Block, incorporating (aggregating) an external Building Block into its parent structure. Aggregation is the syntactic mechanism that enables the construction of modular, composite Building Blocks. It establishes a reified Relationship Element (the nested Aggregate Member) between the Aggregate Block and the aggregated Building Block, allowing the definition of local characteristic specific to the Aggregate Member. This mechanism facilitates the expression of emergent properties within the composite structure of the Aggregate Block . Examples: . "Attributes" of a "UML class" are Aggregate Members. . Steps of a process are Aggregate Member Members. . "Specializations" of a Class are Aggregate Member Members. |
