UML14 — Clarify that profiles can contain model libraries

  • Key: UML14-218
  • Legacy Issue Number: 6161
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: NIST ( Mr. Conrad Bock)
  • Summary:

    The definition of <<modelLibrary>> says it is:

    A package that contains model elements which are intended
    to be reused by other packages. A model library differs from
    a profile in that a model library does not extend the
    metamodel using stereotypes and tagged definitions. A
    model library is analogous to a class library in some
    programming languages.

    However, profiles can contain model libraries. UML 1.x has an explicit
    dependency to model this (called <<modelLibrary>> also). It should be
    clarified that in 2.0 this is done by including model library pacakages
    in profile packages. The above text should be clarified. Suggestion:

    A package that contains model elements which are intended to be
    reused by other packages. A model library can be contained in a
    profile package, but the classes in a model library are not
    stereotypes stereotypes and tagged definitions extending the
    metamodel. A model library is analogous to a class library in some
    programming languages.
