Issue 6020: duration observation" vs DurationObservationAction etc (uml2-superstructure-ftf) Source: (, ) Nature: Clarification Severity: Minor Summary: There is some inconsistency in the use of the terms "duration observation" vs. DurationObservationAction and "time observation" vs. TimeObservationAction in the diagrams on the above listed pages. In particular, figure 8-158 states that the visual elements in a Sequence Diagram are "DurationObservation" and "TimeObservation", when in fact they should be "DurationObservationAction" and "DurationObservationAction". The observations only occur when the action is taken - but the representation on the sequence diagram must be the action to be taken, not the effect of it. Compare this to figures on pp 351 & 360.
