Incomplete
Incomplete is a constraint added to a set of generalization relationships to indicate that all children have not been specified. This means that an instance of the parent is not necessarily an instance of any of the children. All children that are governed by the constraint must have the same discriminator.
Explanation
This constraint indicates that the family represented by the generalization can have more children added to it at a future time.
A generalization relationship is related because it is the base element to which the incomplete constraint has been added. The incomplete constraint adds conditions and propositions to the underlying or base generalization relationship. The incomplete constraint is one of the UML standard elements.
