Issue 19188: Notation for PrimitiveTypes (uml2-rtf) Source: Change Vision (Mr. Michael Jesse Chonoles, mjchonoles(at)yahoo.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Latest UML 2.5 spec has In 21 Primitive Types 21.3 Notation “There is no notation for PrimitiveTypes. There is notation for literal values of PrimitiveTypes; this notation is covered in Clause 8.2.” However, in Figure 21.1 Primitive Types, there appears to be notation for PrimtitveTypes. And explicitly in 10.2.5 Examples “Figure 10.2 illustrates the notation for defining a PrimitiveType” Similarly in 10.2.4, a notation for PrimitiveType is described. So which is it? Is there notation for PrimitiveType or not? This needs to be made clear. Perhaps what is meant is “There is no notation for defining literals of any new (modeler-defined) PrimitiveType.” And replace the 2nd sentence with “There is notation for literal values of the UML-supplied PrimitiveTypes; this notation is covered in Clause 8.2.” Resolution: Revised Text: Actions taken: January 17, 2014: received issue Discussion: End of Annotations:===== ocket-Received: from mjchonolesHP (mjchonoles@71.225.92.207 with plain [98.139.211.125]) by smtp224.mail.ne1.yahoo.com with SMTP; 17 Jan 2014 19:16:09 +0000 UTC From: "Michael Chonoles" To: Cc: "'Bran Selic'" Subject: UML 2.x 4 Issues on Primitive Type Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:16:04 -0500 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 15.0 Thread-Index: Ac8Ttg53Lofs+J3KTK2y3/Q7U1SECw== X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at omg.org 4 Issues This is issue # 19188 1) Notation for PrimitiveTypes Latest UML 2.5 spec has In 21 Primitive Types 21.3 Notation .There is no notation for PrimitiveTypes.
