Issue 6428: ad-03-04-01 Chap 3 p. 137-138/Composite structures: Connector semantics (uml2-superstructure-ftf) Source: David Frankel Consulting (Mr. David Frankel, david(at)dfrankelconsulting.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Issue: Re the definition of Connector in Chapter 3, Composite Structures, third paragraph of the Semantics section, which starts on p. 137 with "If the type of the connector is ommitted...": This paragraph is inpenetrable. Recommendation: Re-write the section around concrete examples for each point. Resolution: Revised Text: Actions taken: November 4, 2003: received issue March 9, 2005: closed issue Discussion: The indicated paragraph (now on p.164) describes how the type of a connector is inferred if the type was omitted. It describes three scenarios: (i) the roles the connector is associated with realize interfaces with an association between them; (ii) the connector realizes a collaboration; (iii) anything else. The text is very clear in describing each situation and how to find (or construct) the type of the connector. Disposition: Closed, no change End of Annotations:===== m: "David S.
