QVT11 — Section: 8.1.14

QVT Operational Mappings claims in the overview section, the use of ListLiteralExpression (for instance to initialize a list), as in the section 8.1.14 (Pag 55) is shown. However, there is no way to represent this literal expression in the abstract syntax, due to: 1. There is no ListLiteralExp in the imperativeOCL package. 2. CollectionLiteralExp (from EssentialOCL) can't be used. There is a way to initialize lists, making use of the asList operator which appears in the Standard Library section (8.3.85 / Pag 112), however this should be clarified. Therefore, two possible solutions could be taken: Suggestion 1: Create a ListLiteralExp which should extend CollectionLiteralExp (From EssentialOCL). Suggestion 2: Update the overview examples, to properly ilustrate how to initialize lists. Besides, the grammar ( Pag 124) )should be consequently changed as well. (List

literal expressions wouldn't be supported).
