Issue 8229: Used of "Redefines ...from Abstractions" in descriptions is misleading (uml2-rtf)
Source: Adaptive (Mr. Pete Rivett, pete.rivett(at)adaptive.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: For example 11.7.2 of Infra: the name property states 
Redefines the corresponding attributes from Basic::NamedElement and Abstractions::Visibilities::NamedElement.

However there is no redefinition occurring; nor would it make sense.

Resolution: see above
Revised Text: In section 11.7.2 of Infrastructure, change
• name: String [0..1] Redefines the corresponding attributes from Basic::NamedElement and
Abstractions::Visibilities::NamedElement.
to:
• name: String [0..1] The name of the NamedElement.
Actions taken:
February 3, 2005: received issue
August 23, 2006: closed issue
Discussion: 
This descriptions resulted from the old definition of package merge where the merging
package specialized and redefined matching classes and properties from the merged class.
Since this is no longer the case, the description of NamedElement::name should change.
