UML14 — Description of GeneralizationSet

  • Key: UML14-136
  • Legacy Issue Number: 5980
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Google ( Don Baisley)
  • Summary:

    The description of GeneralizationSet uses the words "general" and
    "specific" to mean "specific" and "general" respectively. The description
    also uses unclear terms like "maps to classifier" without identifying which
    association. Also, the semantics has: "All of the Generalization links that
    share a given general Classifier are divided into disjoint sets (that is,
    partitions) using the generalizationSet association." This statement is
    nonsense. First, the metamodel does not require all generalizations to be
    put into partitions using "the generalizationSet association". Second,
    partitions are not required by the metamodel to be disjoint - the same
    generalization can be in multiple generalization sets (as should be the
    case).
