How to read this diagram

Interface Aggregation Types of Classes AbstractClas s Instantiation An abstract class cannot be used to create new objects but is a specification for instances of subclasses (through type inheritance.) A createable class can directly create objects by declaring a new object. An instantiable class cannot directly create objects, but objects of this class can be created as a property of another class or instantiated by objects from another class. Types of Relationships Associations represent relationships between classes. They have defined multiplicities at both ends. Type inheritance defines specialized classes of objects which share properties and methods with the superclass and have additional properties and methods. Instantiation specifies that one object from one class has a method with which it creates an object from another class. Aggregation is an asymmetric association in which an object from one class is considered to be a 'whole' and objects from the other class are considered 'parts'. Composition is a stronger form of aggregation in which objects from the 'whole' class control the lifetime of objects from the 'part' class. An N-ary association specifies that more than two classes are associated. A diamond is placed at the intersection of the association branches. This diagram has several examples of an instantiation of an object from two other objects. A Multiplicity is a constraint on the number of objects that can be associated with another object. Association, aggregration and composition relationships have multiplicities on both sides. This is the notation for multiplicities: 1 One and only one (if none shown, '1' is implied) 0..1 Zero or one M..N From M to N (positive integers) * or 0..* From zero to any positive integer 1..* From one to any positive integer

Type Inheritance
This diagram illustrates the implicit type inheritance model in the ArcInfo 8 component objects. Software interfaces are not duplicated in the child classes. IRowBuffer

The ArcInfo object model is pictured here. These are the software COM components on which ArcCatalog and ArcMap are built. Collectively, they are called ArcObjects. These components are available for programming through VBA or your standard Windows development platform.
