SYSMLR — Inability to specify partial allocation and requriements satisfaction

The allocate and requirements relationships (e.g., satisfy, verify, derive) do not explicitly state the degree to which these relationships apply. For example, a satisfy relationship may imply a model element may fully satisfy, partially satisfy, or not satisfy at all a particular requirement at a point in the design process. However, there is no standard way to refer to this partial vs complete satisfaction. A similar issue applies to the verify and derive relationships.

Note: Similar issues apply to allocate relationships where the allocate may indicate that the element is fully or partially allocated to another element.

The SysML spec should consider incorporating a tagged value to indicate 0, partial or complete on these relationships.
