DDSXTY_ — Circular reference in definition of specialized Primitive Types

The specialized Primitive Types defined for Int, UInt, Float, Boolean, etc... each define a property 'value' that is typed by the property's owner thus resulting in a circular reference in the model.

Each of these are specializations of the PrimitiveType abstract class. Changing the UML instance of the PrimitiveType definition to a UML:PrimitiveType will automatically convey the semantic that an instance of the specialized PrimitiveType is the value itself.

NB: To do this in Enterprise Architect recreate the PrimitiveType abstract definition as an instance of the 'Primitive' element found in the 'Class' toolbox.
