That sounds like a detail of UML that I'm unaware of, but I don't think we should exclude the option of ever using the Event class directly. There may be events that are not seen as either life events or business events that organisations wish to include in catalogues so I propose simply to remove the word abstract thus:
"This class represents an event that can be of any type that triggers, makes use of, or in some way is related to, a Public Service. It is not expected to be used directly, rather, one or other of its subclasses should be used. The properties of the class are, of course, inherited by those subclasses."
By using the words "It is not expected to be used directly", I assume the same meaning as saying that "Event is abstract".
Indeed. The UML diagram now has it as an abstarct class which, from what I can see, merely means the word 'Event' is italicised.
