Structural Essence

This is the online appendix of our MODELS'11 paper on structural essence.

In the approach described in the paper we transform a UML class diagram into a distilled model. In this appendix we describe multiple alternative transformations and provide a rationale for why we chose the specific transformation described in the paper.

We also provide examples of UML models, their distilled models, and the resulting structural essence.
