Summary:
Sometimes the representation based in the metamodel is too complex, and some simplifications can be
taken. As an example, when representing multiplicities, the UML MM has a very complex way to do that.
However a compact string representation for multiplicities already exists and is widely used. The HUTN
should allow the users to use the special textual representations when available.
For instance: the string datavalue "1..5" culd be used instaed of
... Multiplicity {range: MultiplicityRange {lower="1";upper="5";}}
Suggestion for resolution: Enhance the configuration Metamodel with a ElementSubstitutionConfig
metaclass declaring the replacement and the string convention to be used
(attributes 'the_element : ModelElementRef' and 'replacementSpec : String')
The 'replacementSpec' may reference an OCL function defined at some place -
