All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Object>, DirectedRelationship, Element, EModelElement, EObject, MDWEObject, MDWObject, Notifier, Relationship
```
public interface ElementImport
extends DirectedRelationship
```
A representation of the model object 'Element Import'. An element import identifies an element in another package, and allows the element to be referenced using its name without a qualifier.
The following features are supported:

- Method Detail
  - getVisibility
```
VisibilityKind getVisibility()
```
    Returns the value of the 'Visibility' attribute. The default value is "public". The literals are from the enumeration VisibilityKind. Specifies the visibility of the imported PackageableElement within the importing Package. The default visibility is the same as that of the imported element. If the imported element does not have a visibility, it is possible to add visibility to the element import.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the 'Visibility' attribute.
    
    See Also:
    
    VisibilityKind, setVisibility(VisibilityKind), UMLPackage.getElementImport_Visibility()
  - setVisibility
```
void setVisibility(VisibilityKind value)
```
    Sets the value of the 'Visibility' attribute.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the new value of the 'Visibility' attribute.
    
    See Also:
    
    VisibilityKind, getVisibility()
  - getAlias
```
String getAlias()
```
    Returns the value of the 'Alias' attribute. Specifies the name that should be added to the namespace of the importing package in lieu of the name of the imported packagable element. The aliased name must not clash with any other member name in the importing package. By default, no alias is used.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the 'Alias' attribute.
    
    See Also:
    
    isSetAlias(), unsetAlias(), setAlias(String), UMLPackage.getElementImport_Alias()
  - setAlias
```
void setAlias(String value)
```
    Sets the value of the 'Alias' attribute.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the new value of the 'Alias' attribute.
    
    See Also:
    
    isSetAlias(), unsetAlias(), getAlias()
  - unsetAlias
```
void unsetAlias()
```
    Unsets the value of the 'Alias' attribute.
    
    See Also:
    
    isSetAlias(), getAlias(), setAlias(String)
  - isSetAlias
```
boolean isSetAlias()
```
    Returns whether the value of the 'Alias' attribute is set.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the value of the 'Alias' attribute is set.
    
    See Also:
    
    unsetAlias(), getAlias(), setAlias(String)
  - getImportedElement
```
PackageableElement getImportedElement()
```
    Returns the value of the 'Imported Element' reference. Specifies the PackageableElement whose name is to be added to a Namespace.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the 'Imported Element' reference.
    
    See Also:
    
    setImportedElement(PackageableElement), UMLPackage.getElementImport_ImportedElement()
  - setImportedElement
```
void setImportedElement(PackageableElement value)
```
    Sets the value of the 'Imported Element' reference.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the new value of the 'Imported Element' reference.
    
    See Also:
    
    getImportedElement()
  - getImportingNamespace
```
Namespace getImportingNamespace()
```
    Returns the value of the 'Importing Namespace' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Element Import'. Specifies the Namespace that imports a PackageableElement from another Package.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the 'Importing Namespace' container reference.
    
    See Also:
    
    setImportingNamespace(Namespace), UMLPackage.getElementImport_ImportingNamespace(), Namespace.getElementImports()
  - setImportingNamespace
```
void setImportingNamespace(Namespace value)
```
    Sets the value of the 'Importing Namespace' container reference.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the new value of the 'Importing Namespace' container reference.
    
    See Also:
    
    getImportingNamespace()
  - validateVisibilityPublicOrPrivate
```
boolean validateVisibilityPublicOrPrivate(DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                                          Map context)
```
    The visibility of an ElementImport is either public or private. self.visibility = #public or self.visibility = #private
  - validateImportedElementIsPublic
```
boolean validateImportedElementIsPublic(DiagnosticChain diagnostics,
                                        Map context)
```
    An importedElement has either public visibility or no visibility at all. self.importedElement.visibility.notEmpty() implies self.importedElement.visibility = #public
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    The query getName() returns the name under which the imported PackageableElement will be known in the importing namespace. result = if self.alias->notEmpty() then self.alias else self.importedElement.name endif
