All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Object>, Element, EModelElement, EObject, MDWEObject, MDWObject, NamedElement, Notifier
```
public interface Lifeline
extends NamedElement
```
A representation of the model object 'Lifeline'. A lifeline represents an individual participant in the interaction. While parts and structural features may have multiplicity greater than 1, lifelines represent only one interacting entity.
