Component Diagram Overview

A component diagram shows the physical dependency relationships (mapping to a file system) between components--main programs, subprograms, packages, and tasks--and the arrangement of components into component packages.

Component diagrams are contained (owned) either at the top level of the model or by a package. This means the diagram will depict the components and packages in which the diagram is contained.
