DTV13 — Date-Time Issue: OCL should be integrated into UML model

Currently, OCL statements are created directly in the specification document, then "stripped out" of the document into a separate file via an XSLT transform. In a further step, the OCL should be integrated into the UML model so that the model includes the OCL constraints.

Merging OCL into the UML model should be automated

The Task Force agrees that the OCL should be integrated into the UML model. However, in order to avoid duplication of effort and possible inconsistency between the formal files associated with the specification, all of the OCL text in the specification, the OCL file, and the OCL elements of the UML (XMI) file should be created from a common source by an appropriate software application. But the Task Force is unaware of any such tool for modifying the UML XMI file, and lacks the resources to create one.
