Class Generalization

Namespace
NMF.Interop.Cmof
Assembly
NMF.UMLInterop.dll

A generalization is a taxonomic relationship between a more general classifier and a more specific classifier. Each instance of the specific classifier is also an indirect instance of the general classifier. Thus, the specific classifier inherits the features of the more general classifier.

Properties

ClassInstance

Gets the Class model for this type

public static IClass ClassInstance { get; }

Property Value

IClass

General

References the general classifier in the Generalization relationship.

[XmlElementName("general")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public IClassifier General { get; set; }

Property Value

IClassifier

IsSubstitutable

Indicates whether the specific classifier can be used wherever the general classifier can be used. If true, the execution traces of the specific classifier will be a superset of the execution traces of the general classifier.

[XmlElementName("isSubstitutable")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public bool? IsSubstitutable { get; set; }

Property Value

bool?

ReferencedElements

Gets the referenced model elements of this model element

public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> ReferencedElements { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement>

Specific

References the specializing classifier in the Generalization relationship.

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlElementName("specific")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
[XmlOpposite("generalization")]
public IClassifier Specific { get; set; }

Property Value

IClassifier
