A Descriptive_specification is a textual description of an object.

EXAMPLE A Descriptive_specification may be used to describe the characteristics that distinguish a final item from the corresponding neutral item.
EXAMPLE A Descriptive_specification may be used to describe a simple tool used as a resource for a Process_operation_definition.
The data associated with a Descriptive_specification are the following:
The description specifies the Descriptive_specification.
