Issue 6963: UseCase - Inconsistencies with Figure 401 (uml2-superstructure-ftf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary: UseCase - Inconsistencies with Figure 401 

According to Figure 401, the mulitiplicy of association end +subject is "*". 

On page 519 it is "subject : Classifier References the subjects to which this use case applies. The subject ..." 

and should be 

"subject : Classifier[*] References the subjects to which this use case applies. The subject ..." 

dito for "include" and "extend" 

Resolution: see above
Revised Text: 
Actions taken:
January 31, 2003: received issue
March 8, 2005: closed issue
Discussion: 
Actually, the default is that an unspecified multiplicity means “*”. However, for greater
clarity, the changes recommended above will be made:
Replace the following text on page 519:
??subject : Classifier References the subjects to which this use case applies. The
subject or its parts realize all the use cases that apply to this
subject. Use cases need not be attached to any specific subject,
however. The subject may, but need not, own the use
cases that apply to it.
??include : Include References the Include relationships owned by this use
case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and
Namespace.ownedMember.)
??extend : Extend References the Extend relationships owned by this use
case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and
Namespace.ownedMember.)
??extensionPoint: ExtensionPoint References the ExtensionPoints owned by
the use case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and
Namespace.ownedMember.)
with the text that includes the multiplicities:
?? subject : Classifier[*] References the subjects to which this use case applies. The
subject or its parts realize all the use cases that apply to this
subject. Use cases need not be attached to any specific subject,
however. The subject may, but need not, own the use
cases that apply to it.
??include : Include[*] References the Include relationships owned by this use
case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and
Namespace.ownedMember.) ??extend : Extend[*] References the Extend relationships owned by this use
case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and
Namespace.ownedMember.)
??extensionPoint: ExtensionPoint[*] References the ExtensionPoints owned by
the use case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and
Namespace.ownedMember.)

Summary:
UseCase - Inconsistencies with Figure 401 
According to Figure 401, the mulitiplicy of association end +subject is "*". 
On page 519 it is "subject : Classifier References the subjects to which this use case applies. The subject ..." 
and should be 
"subject : Classifier[*] References the subjects to which this use case applies. The subject ..." 
dito for "include" and "extend" 

Discussion:
The convention used in the document was that an unspecified multiplicity means [*}. However, it is better to be explicit. Therefore, the following change needs to be made:
On page 519, add explicit multiplicities to each of the entries as follows:
·	subject : Classifier[*]	References the subjects to which this use case applies. The subject or its parts realize all the use cases that apply to this subject. Use cases need not be attached to any specific subject, however. The subject may, but need not, own the use cases that apply to it.
·	include : Include[*]	References the Include relationships owned by this use case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and Namespace.ownedMember.)
·	extend : Extend[*]	References the Extend relationships owned by this use case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and Namespace.ownedMember.)
·	extensionPoint: ExtensionPoint[*]	References the ExtensionPoints owned by the use case. (Specializes Classifier.feature and Namespace.ownedMember.)
Disposition:	Resolved
