Issue 12427: interpreting InstanceSpecification (uml2-rtf)
Source: EMC (Mr. George Ericson, ericson_george(at)emc.com)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: Various readers are interpreting InstanceSpecification differently. One interpretation is that a particular InstanceSpecification specifies a particular instance. A second interpretation is that a particular InstanceSpecification may be used to specify more than one instance. I prefer the second interpretation. This is supported by the Note at the bottom of page 83 that refers to "... such structures."
