UML14 — UML 2 Super/pg.81/semantics of subsetting-specialization-redefinition

Open Closed All

  • Summary:

    pg. 81: Association: subsetting, generalization, redefining: Just what is the precise difference among subsetting, specialization, and redefining? The explanations are vague and don't offer distinctions or examples showing the difference. They seem to do the same thing. If there is no semantic difference, why do we have them all? This is an important thing to clarify, preferably with examples for each of the possibilities. Other people are confused about this too.
