How to use Subsetted Property in UML?

Solution
According to UML 2.4.1 specification, Subsetted Property references the properties of which this property is constrained to be a subset. What do you mean by a real-world example ? UML specification is one of them I guess... But you might find this kind of properties in all applicatioh where an Object is associatded to another and this association is redefined in the context of two of theirs subtypes. For example, an `Animal` class can be associated to a `Limb` class. We can also define two classes `Human` and `Leg` extending respectively `Animal` and `Limb`. Finally we can associate `Human` and `Leg` which will be a redefinition of the preexisting association.

Problem
Subsetted Properties are widely used in UML specification diagrams. - What are the semantics (meaning) of a Subsetted Property? - How does one use a UML Subsetted Property? A real-world example would be great Edit: the following screenshot from UML specification 2.5(Beta) Could you please let me know what subset means in this diagram?
