The ReplacedBy class was introduced by the SBML Level 3 Hierarchical Model Composition package ('comp') to allow submodel elements to be 'canonical' versions of the element while still allowing the parent model to reference those elements. Whereas a ReplacedElement object indicates that the containing object replaces another, a ReplacedBy object indicates the converse: the parent object is to be replaced by another object.
As is the case with ReplacedElement, the ReplacedBy class inherits from SBaseRef. It additionally defines one required attribute ("submodelRef"), defined in libSBML in the Replacing class.
