title: "Create" vs "Instantiate" dependency in UML
body: <p>According to the UML spec we can denote a dependency between two classes by means of <code>&lt;&lt;Create&gt;&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;&lt;Instantiate&gt;&gt;</code> stereotypes.</p>
  
  <p>Do you know what is the differences between those stereotypes?</p>
  
  <p>It is written in UML spec 2.5 (chap. 22.3 Standard Stereotypes):</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>For <code>&lt;&lt;Create&gt;&gt;</code></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A usage dependency denoting that the client classifier creates
    instances of the supplier classifier</p>
  </blockquote></li>
  <li><p>For <code>&lt;&lt;Instantiate&gt;&gt;</code></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A usage dependency among classifiers indicating that operations on the
    client create instances of the supplier</p>
  </blockquote></li>
  </ol>
