The fact that the reference to ActivityEdge on page 382 says "ActivityEdge (from BasicActivities, CompleteActivities, CompleteStructuredActivities, IntermediateActivities)" is just an artifact of the Framemaker cross-reference to the header for ActivityEdge, which indicates that it is further extended in the CompleteActivities and CompleteStructuredActivities packages. -- Ed > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Weilkiens [mailto:Tim.Weilkiens@oose.de] > Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 8:58 AM > To: uml2-rtf@omg.org > Subject: ,ac,,av, AA WG discussion for issue 8236 > > Internal WG discussion only. > > Please have a look on p. 382 (12.3.19 ControlFlow): > I'm wondering why ControlFlow from BasicActivities can > inherit from ActivityEdge from CompleteActivities. > > I see that it could happen, because there are appropriate > merge-relationships. > However it feels quite strange to me. > > Tim > > From: "Ed Seidewitz" To: Subject: RE: ,ac,,av, AA WG discussion for issue 8236 Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 09:47:23 -0400 Organization: Data Access Technologies X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.6353 Thread-Index: AcWvveqQwkY/xgc7TCSWjos/EKS1lQAA7gpgAABF1CAAAHkiIA== Well, I think the confusion is in the structure of the various levels of package merging in the activities section, not the structure of the document. I am not sure this is anything that could be resolved with an RTF issue. It is certainly not the only case of this kind of thing... -- Ed > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Weilkiens [mailto:Tim.Weilkiens@oose.de] > Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 9:35 AM > To: Ed Seidewitz > Cc: uml2-rtf@omg.org > Subject: RE: ,ac,,av, AA WG discussion for issue 8236 > > Thanks. > > I know that it is not easy to find a technical solution for that. > However it is confusing > for the reader of the spec.
