ALF — end object terminology

  • Key: ALF-7
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4908
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: International Business Machines ( Mr. Sridhar Iyengar)
  • Summary:

    [Sridhar Iyengar] 21. Page 2-262, Section 2.19.3 Identifying a Link :
    Please clarify the term 'end Objects' and this terms relationship to The
    terms 'link object' and 'link'. These terms are used - but not
    consistently when defining Association Actions. I could generally
    understand the intention (because in the MOF spec we describe this in
    gory detail!), but UML will be used a larger number of vendors and we
    should nail this better.

    22. Page 2-262 308, Para 2 , fix the grammar. Once again the spec says
    'link always have exactly one object at its ends', Hopefully you mean
    'link always has exactly one object reference at its end'. The
    difference between 'object' and 'object reference' is subtle in many
    systems and it looks like in this spec the term 'object' is used to mean
    both.
