SYSML17 — Add Graphical notation for General Classifier

  • Key: SYSML17-161
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Sierra Nevada ( Mr. Chas Galey)
  • Summary:

    The usage of Generalization in SysML is a key part of establishing Domain Specific Languages and contexts for models. In particular it has great ability to establish reusability within our models. However, the only mechanism via which we can visually denote the nature of an object is via non-normative extensions to M2 via stereotypes such as <<Car>> or other examples. This is undesirable, we should have the ability (on classes and parts typed by those classes) to optionally display the General (or any General class of a Block) classifier of a Block on BDD's, IBD's and Parametric diagrams. This will, greatly enhance the readability of our diagrams, remove the complexity of implementing M2 stereotypes simply designed for visualization, and expose via the diagram usage of reusable libraries to make the foundation of our models.

    Example Format might be (in ASCII art):

    ------------
    <<Block>>
    [Car]
    Porsche
    --------------
