Issue 8788: Variables (uml2-rtf)
Source: No Magic, Inc. (Mr. Nerijus Jankevicius, nerijus(at)nomagic.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: What namespace should be owner of variables used in sequence diagram?
If variables are added into Interaction, they conflict, because every execution (method for example, or even loop) can introduce variables with some names, that should be not accessible outside.
Maybe ExecutionSpecification or InteractionFragment should be NameSpaces and declare collection for storing variables?

Resolution:

Discussion: 
Due to lack of time, the RTF/FTF agrees that the following are problems that need fixing, but decided to defer their resolution to a future RTF working on this specification.

If variables are added into Interaction, they conflict, because every execution (method for example, or even loop) can introduce variables with some names, that should be not accessible outside.
Maybe ExecutionSpecification or InteractionFragment should be NameSpaces and declare collection for storing variables?
 
All these questions are not answered in specification.
 
Thanks in advance.
