Classifiers

In UML visualization, a classifier is the superclass of classes, interfaces, and data types that have similar syntax and, therefore, are all notated by using a rectangle with keywords.

Because classes are most common in Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, a rectangle without a keyword represents a class, and the other subclasses of classifiers are indicated with keywords.
