Description

Taking a random example such as [this](http://ifc43-docs.standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC4x3/HTML/concepts/Object_Composition/Aggregation/Element_Decomposition/content.html).

Was wondering if the restrictions mentioned in the text blurbs about the concept could be incorporated in the diagram instead. Example below.
Would think this would make it easier to understand.

Research direction

Start with the linked Element Decomposition concept page and compare the restrictions in its text blurbs with the accompanying diagram and example image. Determine which restrictions should be represented visually and whether this applies only to that concept or more broadly. Done means the agreed restrictions are incorporated into the relevant concept diagram(s) and remain understandable.
