Actor

An actor is any behavioral component in a modeled system that we can interact with.

Identifiers

1. ID

Attributes

ID

An unqualified address that can be resolved by the modeling language (metamodel) domain. In other words, the address structure is modeling language specific. For Shlaer-Mellor Executable UML, for example, we might have an address like:

EVMAN:ASLEV<S1-3>

Here the structure is domain:class and, in this example, identifies an instance of the ASLEV (Acessible Shaft Level) class in the EVMAN (Elevator Management) domain.

While the ID is useful for local purposes, the string version is more user friendly in notifications.
