KDM — Section: 12.11 (02)

Element TemplateInstance is redundant, as TemplateUnit can contain only a single class or method. The instance of the template therefore consists of that class or method (properly instanciated), and no additinal housekeeping is required. The instance can be the endpoint for the "Instantiates" relation. Suggestion - remove this element to simplify the metamodel, and correct model for instantiates relation to go from CodeResource to TemplateUnit at Figure 12.9. This also elimintaes the need to distinguish between InstanceOf and Instanciates relationships. Relationship InstanceOf can be elimitated to further simplify the metamodel
