UML Class Diagram Generalization Example
UML Diagrams
The Generalization association ("is a") is the relationship between the base class that is named as “superclass” or “parent” and the specific class that is named as “subclass” or “child”.
The UML diagram's Generalization association is also known as Inheritance. The subclass is a particular case of the superclass and inherits all attributes and operations of superclass, but can have your own additional attributes and operations.
In UML is used also the multiple inheritance when the subclass inherits properties and behaviors of more than one superclass.
On the UML Diagram the Generalization association represents as the line with empty triangle that connects superclass and subclass.
Near the Generalization association line can be write in { } any additional properties of this association that display as the constraints.
You can use the following UML keywords as constraints:
- complete – signify that in this generalization association are specified all subclasses and the superclass cannot have another subclasses.
- disjoint – signify that subclasses cannot contain the objects that are the instances of two or more classes at the same time.
- incomplete – signify that on the diagram are not specified all the subclasses
- overlapping – signify that some instances of subclasses can belong to two or more classes at the same time.

If you want to find a way to understand complex things in minutes, you should try to visualize data. One of the most useful tool for this is creating a flowchart, which is a diagram representing stages of some process in sequential order. There are so many possible uses of flowcharts and you can find tons of flow charts examples and predesigned templates on the Internet. Warehouse flowchart is often used for describing workflow and business process mapping. Using your imagination, you can simplify your job or daily routine with flowcharts.
Warehouse flowcharts are used to document product and information flow between sources of supply and consumers. The flowchart provides the staged guidance on how to manage each aspect of warehousing and describes such aspects as receiving of supplies; control of quality; shipment and storage and corresponding document flow. Warehouse flowchart, being actual is a good source of information. It indicates the stepwise way to complete the warehouse and inventory management process flow. Also it can be very useful for an inventory and audit procedures.

Data flow diagrams are the graphical tool, used in the visualization of data flow of some data processing systems. It is the valuable process modeling tool. Also designing DFD is the important component of the initial part of any information system development project. The standard symbols are used to represent the interaction of a system components and how various kinds of components influence on data flow. The ConceptDraw Data Flow Diagrams solution is design to assist professional software engineers in making DFDs according to Gane and Sarson, and Yourdon and Coad notations.
Do you imagine yourself as a successful IT specialist? To your mind, they all use data flow diagram examples to learn and to get inspired. Aren’t you still with us?
