Issue 8095: Section: 7.3.22 (uml2-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Minor
Summary: Figures 50 and 51 cause me confusion because Fig. 50 uses as the classifier name a type (String). Yet Fig. 51 shows "Other properties of the feature, such as type" on the second line of the slot streetNumber:Integer = 381. Should the classifier name in Fig. 50 be a type or something more like myAddress. Please clarify, especially that there is a difference, as indicated by the naming convertion, between the instance specification and the feature shown in the slot.

Discussion: 
The submitter seems to be reading more into the text than is there. I see nothing
confusing about it. In figure 50, the name of the classifier of the InstanceSpecification
“streetName” is indeed “String” – as one would expect. Figure 51 shows an instance of
some composite data type (Address) with two attributes whose values are shown. In case
of the lower attribute (“streetNumber”) the type of attribute is shown as “Integer” – as
one would expect.
Disposition: Closed, no change
