Difference between version 55 and version 54:

Line 52 was replaced by line 52
- The second specialization is shown in Figure 4 and defines essential parts, which are parts that are required by a composite. In general, composite objects can contain a variety of different part types. For example, a car contains various parts including wheels, a chassis, bumpers, and so on. For cars, wheels can be considered essential, whereas sunroofs are optional. Essential parts are represented using the ''hasEssentialPart'' relationship and the ''EssentialPart'' concept.

- The third specialization, shown in Figure 5, describes unique parts. A collection object will have at most one unique part object, if a unique part is defined for the collection. A chassis is a unqiue part for a car, that is, any one car can have at most one chassis. Note that a chassis is also an essential part for a car. We permit part-whole specializations to be freely mixed.
At line 59 added 3 lines.
