Packaging (ownership) of UseCases is separate from use within subjects, and a single UseCase may be used in more than one subject. UseCases - UML subject vs SysML Block Package, Model, or SysML Block as UseCase owner SysMLv1: MagicDraw/Cameo: Having a SystemContext as the 'subject' of each main UseCase plays nicely with the feature for automated creation of usage-level allocation swimlanes in SysML Activity Diagrams for part properties. But it's not the only way. SysMLv1: "Should" the 'subject' of a top-level UseCase be a System or (a particular) SystemContext? Answer: Which one would you like to be correct!? [WITH EXTERNAL LINKS] SysMLv1: A common misunderstanding: Just because a UseCase symbol appears inside the rectangle of a subject Classifier does NOT mean that it is owned by that Classifier and can only have that one Classifier as 'subject', and it does not imply ownership! Webel: SysMLv1: Overview of annotated Diagram Slides and Note pages related to UseCases and their combination with a System (of interest), SystemContext, and drill-down to scenario Sequence Diagrams (Interactions) and Activity Diagrams.

Full quote Note also that the subject rectangle does not imply that the subject classifier owns the contained UseCases, but merely that the UseCases apply to that classifier. Next snippet Related snippets A subject for a set of UseCases (sometimes called a system boundary) may be shown as a rectangle with its name in the top-left corner, with the UseCase ellipses visually located inside this rectangle.
