Section 7.8.1
Goes through a sequence of diagrams illustrating how an
analysts works out the solution to a modeling problem
Analyst constructs object diagrams, then decides on the
proper class diagram.
Figures 7-27, 28, 29, 30
7-27 first draft – has a problem with the address objects
7-28 second draft – happens to use containment notation for
composition – analyst clarifies role of addresses in the solution
7-29 above revised, but now correctly drawn
7.30 class diagram that fits the final object diagram

Interfaces
Section 7.5.5
An interface is special type of class that cannot be instantiated.
An application can never instantiate an interface.
An interface defines a set of public attributes and operations that
some class must use (depends on)
There is no behaviour defined, no method coded
Some other class inherits the interface and provides the
implementation
