UML14 — UML Notation Guide, boolean properties

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML14-645
  • Legacy Issue Number: 954
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: §5.5.1 says that you can show properties betwen braces and that a boolean
    property can be displayed without its value (meaning true).

    1) examples are

    {leaf}

    and

    {abstract}

    , which are isLeaf and isAbstract in
    the metamodel. Since all boolean properties are called isXxxx, I suggest to
    add an explicit rule in §5.5.1 stating that a property isXxxx=true is
    displayed simply as

    {xxxx}

    2) I suggest to add a shortcut for false properties as well. May be
    {§xxxx}, or {xxxx}

    ... some character not too overloaded by UML and
    programming languages anyway (# ~ ! - ...)
