Dependency Node to Client
A Dependency signifies a supplier/client relationship between model elements where the modification of a supplier might impact the client – in other words, that the semantics of the client is not complete without the supplier.
To model a Dependency between two Classifiers in UML, you create a Dependency Node of the appropriate type (Dependency, Usage, Abstraction, or Realization), and then create the Dependency Node to Client relationship definition and the Dependency Node to Supplier definition, respectively.
