UAF14 — Alignment of Terminology to 42010, Relationships Not Labelled

42010 uses Architecture Description whereas in UAF we have what seems to be the same concept but is 'ArchitecturalDescription'.

The model in Figure 3.21 is missing relationship names between ArchitecturalDescription and View, ArchitecturalDescription and Architecture, ArchitecturalDescription and Viewpoint. These should in accordance with 42010 be 'has part, or is composed of', 'expresses' and 'has part or is composed of'.

It should be noted that architecture descriptions using the UAF do not include architecture viewpoints - the viewpoints used are separate. In old 42010 terminology the UAF uses what is called 'library' viewpoints to save having to include in each and every AD. The relationship is something like 'references' or a form of trace.

It is poor practice not to label relationships and repeating the target stereotype name as a role name on a connector adds no information.

The figure also misses the association with ArchitectureFramework that is mentioned in Associations.

The architectureFramework association doesn't, as stated, indicate the type of architecture framework - it identifies the particular architecture framework.
