UML Profile Application
Profile application is a directed relationship used to show which profiles have been applied to a package.
One or more profiles may be applied to a package that is created from the same metamodel that is extended by the profile. Applying a profile means that it is allowed, but not necessarily required, to apply the stereotypes that are defined as part of the profile.
It is possible to apply multiple profiles to a package as long as they do not have conflicting constraints. If a profile that is being applied depends on other profiles, then those profiles must be applied first.
When a profile is applied, instances of the appropriate stereotypes should be created for those elements that are instances of metaclasses with required extensions. The model is not well formed without these instances.
Once a profile has been applied to a package, it is allowed to remove the applied profile at will. Removing a profile implies that all elements that are instances of elements defined in a profile are deleted. A profile that has been applied cannot be removed unless other applied profiles that depend on it are first removed.
Applied profile is shown using a dashed arrow with an open arrowhead from the package to the applied profile. The keyword «apply» is shown near the arrow.

If multiple applied profiles have stereotypes with the same name, it may be necessary to qualify the name of the stereotype with a profile name.
