A collaboration is defined as a (possibly temporary) configuration of two or more roles (of actors,applications or nodes), resulting in specific collective behaviour in a particular context.
Unlike a single role, a collaboration does not necessarily have a permanent status. Thus it may be a temporary collaboration. It may not require a special name and can be regarded as a "virtual" role.
A collaboration can occur when two or more roles need to fulfil specific interaction requirements. Collaborations represent the collective effort of combined roles.
The name of a collaboration should preferably be a noun.
