 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A PackageUsage represents a usage of a Package. It is particularly relevant in situations where a specific usage uses an alternative name for the Package, as this alternative name can be recorded using the packageAlias attribute.
 * 
 * For example, if a DataProvider representing an ODBC or JDBC client uses a name for a relational database that is different from the dataPackage name used by the RDBMS server, a PackageUsage that has the relevant ProviderConnection as client and the server�s data Package as supplier can be added. Its packageAlias attribute can be used to record the name by which the data Package is known to the DataProvider.
