Issue 7229: UML2 Super/Deployments/Manifestation (uml2-rtf) Source: Adaptive (Mr. Pete Rivett, pete.rivett(at)adaptive.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Manifestation should inherit from Realization In Section 10.3.10 and Figure 124 it would make more sense for Manifestation to inherit from Realization rather than directly from Abstraction. The semantics of Realization are described as "A Realization signifies that the client set of elements are an implementation of the supplier set,.." which surely includes manifestation. The spec also states that Realization may be used to model transformations, which fits with the example given in Manifestation: "<<tool generated>> and <<custom code>> might be two manifestations for different classes". BTW There is a missing word in the description of Manifestation "A manifestation is the concrete physical of one or more model elements by an artifact."
