Participant

Semantics

The role type Participant corresponds to the requirement that the associated player in a PLBundler connection be any player of a UniCon type that represents a programming language entity: a GlobalDataDef, GlobalDataUse, RoutineCall, RoutineDef, or PLBundle player. The responsibility of the player is to behave as the programming language entity defined by its type.

There must always be at least two, but there may be potentially infinite, participants in a PLBundler connection.
