Commentary

Refinement is a relationship between two abstraction levels, e.g., design class is a refinement of the corresponding analysis class. Class refines Type. Collaboration refines use cases. Refinement is same as realization. So Design class realizes Analysis class, Class realizes type and collaboration realizes use case.
