Should aggregation and composition relationships have better definitions? #111

Hi, I've found that the definitions of these relationships say pretty much the same thing. I suggest that in the next versions they can have a better definition so that it is easier to notice the difference between them.

Current definitions present in plugin:

Aggregation: a type of association that represents a part-whole relationship in which one element lives on even the other dies.

Composition: a type of association that represents a part-whole relationship in which one element dies too when the other dies.

Hi @andredemori,

These definitions are provided by Visual Paradigm, and thus, we cannot override them on the plugin.

Instead, we could provide a link to the definitions of OntoUML elements. Something like https://ontouml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/relationships/aggregations/intro.html

How could we implement this practically @claudenirmf ?
