Issue 7986: Section: 14.3.7 (uml2-rtf) Source: SINTEF (Richard Sanders, ) Nature: Clarification Severity: Minor Summary: ... of an object. (missing period) ... destruction of the instance -> of the object ... that this instanceowns -> instance owns Resolution: see above Revised Text: Before (in section 14.3.7 page 519): A DestructionEvent models the destruction of an object New text: A DestructionEvent models the destruction of an object. Editor’s note: The above was already fixed in the copy edit of the formal spec Before: A destruction event represents the destruction of the instance described by the lifeline containing the OccurrenceSpecification that references the destruction event. It may result in the subsequent destruction of other instances that this instanceowns by composition (see “Common Behaviors” on page 453). New text: A destruction event represents the destruction of the instance described by the lifeline containing the OccurrenceSpecification that references the destruction event. It may result in the subsequent destruction of other objects that this object owns by composition (see “Common Behaviors” on page 453). Actions taken: December 18, 2004: received issue August 23, 2006: closed issue Discussion: The issue is in principle trivial as the suggestions are meant to be editorial. However, implicitly the question of using “instance” or “object” sneaks in here. Neither in the Interactions chapter nor in other chapters is the distinction well established. I have decided here to propose an editorial change that use “object” whenever we are talking about an instance of a class, and that is what we are doing here.
