MOF14 — Cardinality of "RefersTo" and "Exposes" associations

Open Closed All
  • Key: MOF14-144
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1749

  • Summary:

    Summary: The cardinalities of the "referent" end of "RefersTo" and the
    "referrer" end of "Exposes" are both specified as [0..1] throughout the
    MOF specification. This means that a given AssociationEnd can be
    navigable from >>at most<< one Class (and its subclasses). I can"t
    think of a good reason for making this restriction, and I can"t recall
    it being discussed. The UML spec (ad/97-08-09) contains a diagram (figure
    5 on page 7) that purports to be a projection of the MOF model. This shows
    the cardinality of "referent" as [0..*]. If nothing else, there is a
    document alignment issue here.
