Question

When i read through UML specification there is two words i am not sure if both are the same or not those words are:

class and classifier

What is the differences between

• class and classifier?

Answer 1

The term classifier is more general than class. A classifier can include an interface or even a use case.

In practice, I've only run across the term classifier in certain situations, notably when using a tool such as MagicDraw.
