Multiplicity

You can specify whether you need to allow for multiple copies of an element.

The following table describes the multiplicity values you can specify:

Indicator Meaning
0..1 No instances or one instance (optional).
0..n Multiple instances from zero to n where n is greater than zero.
0..* Any number of instances; * denotes that there is no limit.
n..m Multiple instances where n and m are zero or more. For example:

1..2
1..*

The latter would mean that there must be at least one instance, but there is no upper limit.
