An interaction is a unit of behavior that focuses on the observable exchange of information between ConnectableElements.(OMG Unified Modeling Lanauge Specification - UML 2.0 Superstructure Specification, p. 525)

Lifeline
|
|
A lifeline represents an individual participant in the Interaction. While Parts and StructuralFeatures may have multiplicity greater than 1, Lifelines represent only one interacting entity.(OMG Unified Modeling Lanauge Specification - UML 2.0 Superstructure Specification, p. 536)

Message
|
|
A Message is a NamedElement that defines one specific kind of communication in an Interaction. A communication can be e.g. raising a signal, invoking an Operation, creating or destroying an Instance. The Message specifies not only the kind of communication given by the dispatching ExecutionSpecification, but also the sender and the receiver.(OMG Unified Modeling Lanauge Specification - UML 2.0 Superstructure Specification, p. 538)
