UML notation for association, composition and aggregation. The graphical notation represents: the property as a typed element in the box of the enclosing class, the association as a plain line between the associated classes, the aggregation as an unfilled diamond on the side of the aggregate and a solid line, the composition as a filled diamond ...
Aggregation is a variant of the "has a" association relationship; aggregation is more specific than association. It is an association that represents a part-whole or part-of relationship. As shown in the image, a Professor 'has a' class to teach. As a type of association, an aggregation can be named and have the same adornments that an ...
UML class diagram Composition and aggregation. In object-oriented programming this relationship can be represented with a Unified Modeling Language Class diagram. This has-a relationship is also known as composition. As you can see from the Class Diagram on the right a car "has-a" carburetor, or a car is "composed of" a carburetor.
Composition over inheritance (or composite reuse principle) in object-oriented programming (OOP) is the principle that classes should favor polymorphic behavior and code reuse by their composition (by containing instances of other classes that implement the desired functionality) over inheritance from a base or parent class.

Aggregation - 1. a special type of association used to represent a stronger relationship between two classes than a regular association; typically read as "owns a", as in, "Class A owns a Class B". A hierarchy of classes where the child object may or may not continue to exist if the parent object is destroyed; see 'composition'.
Executable UML defines execution semantics for a subset of the UML. Key aspects of the Executable UML subset include the following: No support for implementation specific constructs, like aggregation and composition. [14] Generalizations are always notated as {complete, disjoint}.

In Figure 9 an aggregation relationship between OPEN CONCEPT and STANDARD CONCEPT is illustrated. An OPEN CONCEPT consists of one or more STANDARD CONCEPTS and a STANDARD CONCEPT is part of zero or more OPEN CONCEPT. In Figure 10 aggregation is exemplified by a fragment of the requirements capture workflow in UML-Based Web Engineering.
