Issue 17550: Attribute is represented by Property (uml2-rtf) Source: (, ) Nature: Clarification Severity: Minor Summary: In the "Description" section, it stated that "Attributes of a class are represented by instances of Property that are owned by the class". Expected: "Attributes of a class are represented by Properties that are owned by the class". In page 43: it is stated that "an association end owned by a class is also an attribute". In page 36, memberEnd: Property[2..*] indicated that association end is Property. In all, I think Attribute is Property, only if the Property is owned by a class. It is confusing to mention instance in this context.
