Issue 14956: UML: Better Profile Capabilitiy (uml2-rtf) Source: Change Vision (Mr. Michael Jesse Chonoles, mjchonoles(at)yahoo.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Better Profile Capability The profile mechanism needs to better support the general refactoring and reuse of profile elements to allow for compatible language evolution. This can include renaming on import, pulling in partial profiles, suppressing features, etc. Profiles should support a more sophisticated ability to add contextual and usage based information, such as consistency rules, formatting rules, model/diagram filters, GUI and presentation options, transformation, documentation, and code generation. These desired profile features are similar in nature to features required by viewpoints – the ability to control much of the model presentation based on audience or circumstances.
