SYSML2_ — incorrect naming of * character

  • Key: SYSML2_-2
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    Throughout the document, need consistent and formal language; for the * character, use 'asterisk' instead of 'star' for the character *.

  • Disposition Summary:

    No change

    Clause 7 Language Description is non-normative and is intended as an informative description of the language. The use of the name "star" for the symbol "*" by modelers is so much more common than "asterisk" that to use the latter instead would likely be confusing. Note that the symbol "*" is not actually named anywhere else in the document other than in Table 3 of 7.5.1 as noted in the issue.
