UML14 — Replace "initial value" with "default value".

  • Key: UML14-212
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6155
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NIST ( Mr. Conrad Bock)
  • Summary:

    "Default values" should be called "initial values", for example in
    property values. Defaults are values that are assumed if no value is
    available on the instance. This can be at any time during the life of
    the object. An instance may have a value for a property at one time and
    when the value is removed, the default takes over until another value is
    given.

    The current semantics is that the "default" value is put in the property
    only when the object is created. If the value is later removed, the
    "default" value does not return. This is normally called an "initial
    value".
