SYSML16 — UnitAndQuantityKind figure missing block keyword

  • Key: SYSML16-331
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NIST ( Mr. Conrad Bock)
  • Summary:

    In Figure 8.11 (Model library for Unit and QuantityKind), Unit and QuantityKind are blocks (at least according to the XMI), but they don't
    have the block keyword showing.

  • Reported: SysML 1.5 — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 18:31 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.6
  • Disposition Summary:

    *Add the block keyword to Unit and QuantityKind *

    According to section 8.3.1.1.2 if no stereotype keyword appears within a definition box on a block definition diagram (including any stereotype property
    compartments), then the definition is assumed to be a SysML block, exactly as if the «block» keyword had appeared before the name in the top compartment of the definition.

    However, it is a good style to be very clear in a specification and the figure will be updated anyway (see SYSML16-334).
