Node Association
A node association is a structural relationship between two nodes. It represents a physical connection between the two nodes; the connection may express a communication path or a type of network.
Explanation
An association between two nodes represents a physical connection between the two nodes. It has all of the characteristics of an association. The association ends, which are the points where the association connects to the nodes, have many properties, which specify the semantics of the relationship.
An association relationship is related to a node association because it is the definition of the fundamental relationship. The node association is a specific example of the association relationship between two nodes.
