In the latest diagram, Danny separated out the Consumer Description completely. Yes, it doesn't make any sense to include a parent if there is a single child. We will have to see where this goes when I next try to augment the text.

I don’t think showing that relationship adds anything given “Service Description” is fairly self explanatory. Unless there is some trait of the “Description” base class that is inherited that we might not ordinarily otherwise assume, it might just be clutter. By the same token, a modeler would not show a java package up to the first order of logic where everything inherits from the Object object. Each modeler must carefully chose their frame based on the audiences ability to derive or infer semantics from the model.

All,
My apologies for being sloppy. Service is supposed to be Service Description. This and Consumer Description were to inherit from a comon Description class.

The diagram as a whole focuses on descriptions, not service itself. I believed that it was understood that a description is not a specialization of service, nor the other way around.
However, if we are getting confused, then the diagram needs more work. Clearly.

I don't think that is the correct relationship. A description describes the
service. Neither is an instance of the other or inherits in any way.

Frank,
Then we need to update the diagram to reflect "Service Description" inherits
from "Description" and not "Service" inherits from "Description" as
currently shown.
