A [profile diagram][1] lets you define an extension to UML by defining your own stereotypes and a couple of other similar elements. The idea is to tailor the expressivity of UML diagrams to a specific domain.
Here you can find [`some examples`][2], such as:
- enriching the class diagram with symbols or stereotypes that correspond to a framework (for example EJB components) or a method (for example the Boundary-Control-Entity design that is used to transform use cases in a systematic manner into a class diagram). - adding stereotypes to allow to represent more precisely nodes of a deployment diagram according to a better network typology. - adding tagged values to enrich diagrams with ownership, authorship, or configuration management information.
