Issue 18450: UML2.5 issue: clause 7.7.5 does not correctly refer to Instantiate stereotype (uml25-ftf)
Source: Microsoft (Mr. Steve Cook, stcook(at)microsoft.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: In 7.7.5 «instantiate» is described and lower-cased as though it were a keyword.  It sort of implies that Instantiate is a subclass of Dependency.

 

In fact «Instantiate» is a standard stereotype. It should be referred to using upper case, and the text should explain that it is a standard stereotype applied to a Usage. The figure and caption will need changing.

 

(Note: this example is also the topic of issue 17804, which is a separate matter about the direction of the arrow.)
