A stereotype is one of three types of extensibility mechanisms in the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the other two being tags and constraints. They allow designers to extend the vocabulary of UML in order to create new model elements, derived from existing ones, but that have specific properties that are suitable for a particular problem domain or otherwise specialized usage. The nomenclature is derived from the original meaning of stereotype, used in printing. For example, when modeling a network you might need to have symbols for representing routers and hubs. By using stereotyped nodes you can make these things appear as primitive building blocks.
Graphically, a stereotype is rendered as a name enclosed by guillemets (« » or, if guillemets proper are unavailable, << >>) and placed above the name of another element. In addition or alternatively it may be indicated by a specific icon. The icon image may even replace the entire UML symbol. For instance, in a class diagram stereotypes can be used to classify method behavior such as «constructor» and «getter». Despite its appearance, «interface» is not a stereotype but a classifier.
One alternative to stereotypes, suggested by Peter Coad in his book Java Modeling in Color with UML: Enterprise Components and Process is the use of colored archetypes. The archetypes indicated by different-colored UML boxes can be used in combination with stereotypes. This added definition of meaning indicates the role that the UML object plays within the larger software system.
A stereotype is a simplified generalization about members of a group.

In social psychology, a stereotype is a thought that can be adopted about specific types of individuals or certain ways of doing things. These thoughts or beliefs may or may not accurately reflect reality. However, this is only a fundamental psychological definition of a stereotype. Within psychology and spanning across other disciplines, there are different conceptualizations and theories of stereotyping that provide their own expanded definition. Some of these definitions share commonalities, though each one may also harbor unique aspects that may contradict the others.
In printing, a stereotype, also known as a cliché, stereoplate or simply a stereo, was originally a "solid plate of type metal, cast from a papier-mâché or plaster mould (called a flong) taken from the surface of a forme of type" used for printing instead of the original.
The composition of individual cast metal types into lines with leading and furniture, tightly locked into a forme was labor-intensive and costly. The printer would incur further expense through loss of the type for other uses while held in formes, and the wear to the type during printing. With the growth in popularity of the novel, printers who did not accurately predict sales were forced into the expense of resetting type for subsequent editions. The stereotype radically changed the way novels were reprinted, saving printers the expense of resetting while freeing the type for other jobs.
...while Nathaniel Hawthorne's publishers assumed that The Scarlet Letter (1850) would do well, printing an uncharacteristically large edition of 2,500 copies, popular demand for Hawthorne's controversial "Custom House" introduction outstripped supply, prompting Ticknor & Fields to reset the type and to reprint another 2,500 copies within two months of the first publication. Still unaware that they had an incipient classic on their hands, Ticknor & Fields neglected at this time to invest in stereotype plates, and thus were forced to pay to reset the type for a third time just four months later when they finally stereotyped the book.
English sources often describe the process as having been invented in 1725 by William Ged, who apparently stereotyped plates for the Bible at Cambridge University before abandoning the business. However, Count Canstein had been publishing stereotyped Bibles in Germany since 1712 and an earlier form of stereotyping from flong was described in Germany in the 17th century. It is even possible that the process was used as early as the fifteenth century by Johannes Gutenberg or his heirs for the Mainz Catholicon. Wide application of the technique, with improvements, is attributed to Charles Stanhope in the early 1800s. Printing plates for the Bible were stereotyped in the US in 1814.
Stereotype also known as Stereotype: Steel & Velvet is singer B.Slade's 5th album. While still using the stage name Tonéx, the artist stated in an interview, that the name Stereotype is a metaphor for the dual nature in humanity (i.e. stereo, left and right). The album was originally to be released on Verity/ Jive Records on September 11, 2007. One single "Joy" (which was later put on Tonéx's Battery Records album Unspoken) had been serviced to radio under the auspices of Verity in May 2007. Disagreements later led to a dissolution of the association between Tonéx and Zomba Label Group, shelving its major release. As a result, in October the artist opted to share the music for a couple of weeks as a free, listen-only album on his MySpace page as a thank you to fans. A collector's edition of Stereotype was reworked with new tracks and finally released digitally under the B.Slade moniker on New Year's Day 2011. Many of the songs from the 2007 version were later dispersed to other Tonéx albums.
Stereotype is the fifth album of Lebanese-Canadian artist Karl Wolf released on September 2, 2014 after Face Behind the Face (2006), Bite the Bullet (2007), Nightlife (2009) and Finally Free (2012). Musically the album is rooted in 1980s music.
Prior to the release of the album, three singles appearing on the album were released as pre-singles. The first was " Go Your Own Way" featuring Reema Major. It was largely an adaptation of the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac hit of the same title, but with added lyrics and rearrangement. The music video for the single was filmed in the UAE. Tow more singles followed in 2014 prior to the release of the album, namely "Magic Hotel" featuring Timbaland and B K Brasco and "Summertime / Let's Get Rowdy" featuring Fatman Scoop, a summer party song filmed in Beirut, Lebanon, Wolf's homeland.
