SYSML16 — Diagram guidelines uses excluded UML element

Appendix A.2 Guidelines (for Diagrams) says:

"SysML provides the capability to represent a document using the UML 2 standard stereotype «document» applied to
the artifact model element. Properties of the artifact can capture information about the document. Use a «trace»
abstraction to relate the document to model elements. The document can represent text that is contained in the related
model elements."

However, the artifact model element is excluded from SysML and cannot be used (see table 4.1).

Remove diagram guideline about representing documents

The diagram guideline in section A.2 refers to the excluded UML model element Artifact.

"SysML provides the capability to represent a document using the UML 2 standard stereotype «document» applied to
the artifact model element. Properties of the artifact can capture information about the document. Use a «trace»
abstraction to relate the document to model elements. The document can represent text that is contained in the related
model elements."

The guideline should be removed. How to represent documents in SysML models must be answered by methodologies.
