* <!-- begin-model-doc -->
* An abstract generalization for special Breakdown Elements that references one concrete Content Element. A descriptor provides a representation of a Content Element within breakdown structures. In addition to just referencing Content Elements it allows overriding the Content Elements structural relationships by defining its own sets of associations.
* Descriptors are the key concept for realizing the separation of processes from method content. A Descriptor can be characterized as a reference object for one particular Content Element, which has its own relationships and properties. When a Descriptor is created it shall be provided with congruent copies of the relationships defined for the referenced content element. However, a user can modify these relationships for the particular process situation for which the descriptor has been created.
