Chapter 10 PowerDesigner Public Metamodel
The PowerDesigner metamodel uses generalizations to show the inheritance links existing between a more general class (usually an abstract class) and a more specific (usually an instantiable class). The more specific class inherits from the attributes of the more generic class, these attributes are called derived attributes.
By sharing attributes and behaviors, inheritance increases the readability of the metamodel.
