Actually, it is correct, but there is confusion about what is the "nadřazený kontejner" and "nadřazený element", because it cannot be seen that actually, in the "nadřazený element" there is a sequence [0..1], which is in fact the "nadřazený kontejner". Like this, it seems like the element is mandatory, even though it in fact is not in the "nadřazený element".

This seems like a simplification left to the user to figure out. However, we need to be clearer. Therefore, either

  1. do not talk about parent container at all and talk about parent element/parent type - and then compute the effective cardinalities or
  2. explicitly mention the sequence and the cardinalities from the Parent element to the current element
