DD — Interchange extension

  • Key: DD-6
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16001
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NIST ( Mr. Conrad Bock)
  • Summary:

    The last pagraph of the DiagramElement section says:

    Other properties of diagram elements that tools need to interchange
    but are not defined in the metamodel can be interchanged using the
    extensibility mechanism that is native to the used interchange
    format. For example, in an XMIbased interchange, extended data can be
    placed on diagram elements within <xmi:extension> tags.

    I'm not sure we should be mentioning interchange level extensions,
    especially without mentioning metamodel extensions, and domain-specific
    extensions like profiles. Can we remove this paragraph, or generalize
    it to include other kinds of extension mechanisms?
