- ### Items

  - #### name

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Short name of the mapping. Used for provenance metadata management and debugging purposes.

  - #### expression

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Alternative representation of the outbound mapping: via explicit expression. Mutually exclusive with partial attribute/objectRef/validation mappings.

  - #### attribute

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Outbound processing of given association attribute.

  - #### objectRef

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Outbound processing of given object-side of this association. The object can be specified exactly (via "ref" property), or kept implicit, if there's only one object.

  - #### activation

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Outbound processing of the activation of this association.

  - #### correlation

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    How objects of this type are correlated to focus objects?

  - #### synchronization

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    TODO

  - #### target

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]
