SMM11 — Change the spec from EMOF to CMOF

Source: OMG AB

Summary:
This issue deals with the fact that the SMM didn’t take advantage of some of the provision of CMOF.

Discussion:
The architecture board as recommended that we change the SMM specification to be more in-line with CMOF rather than restricting ourselves to the EMOF model.

Summary of change:
• Modify SmmElement class
o Remove operations section from SmmElement
• Modify SmmRelationship class
o Remove derived union attribute from the from and to associations.
o In the documentation, in the Associations sub-section, update the content to remove the reference to derived union:
from:SmmElement[1] The origin element (also referred to as the from-endpoint of the relationship).
to:SmmElement[1] The target element (also referred to as the to-endpoint of the relationship).

• Modify MeasureRelationship class
o Remove derived union attribute from the from and to associations.
o In the documentation, in the Associations sub-section, update the content to remove the reference to derived union:
from:Measure [1] The origin element (also referred to as the from-endpoint of the relationship).
to:Measure [1] The target element (also referred to as the to-endpoint of the relationship).

• Modify MeasurementRelationship class
o Remove derived union attribute from the from and to associations.
o In the documentation, add the Associations sub-section (was missing), with the following content:
