Issue 7426: Notation of enumeration literals (uml2-superstructure-ftf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary: Notation of enumeration literals The UML Superstructure spec often writes enumeration literal in OCL expressions as a hash mark (#) followed by the name of the enumeration literal, i.e. #public (p. 20) #protected (p. 27) #composite (p.80) #false (p. 215) #unordered (p. 216) #entryPoint (p. 469) #deepHistory (p. 474) etc. Sometimes it also includes enumeration literals consisting of a (fully qualified) enumeration name followed by '::' and the enumeration literal name, i.e. Aggregation::none (p. 69) According to the OCL 2.0 spec, the second notation is correct (see Sec 7.4.2 in the OCL 2.0 spec) Suggestion: replace all occurences of enumeration literal names with a leading '#' by the notation introduced in OCL 2.0.
