Background 
A design class represents an abstraction of one or several classes in the system's
implementation; exactly what it corresponds to depends on the implementation language and
the code generation strategy. For example, in an object-oriented language such as C++, a
class can correspond to a plain class. Or in Ada, a class can correspond to a tagged type
defined in the visible part of a package (See RUP Artifact: Design Class).
