UML14 — UML 1.4: Transition containment problem

  • Key: UML14-77
  • Legacy Issue Number: 4731
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    According to the UML 1.4 standard, a Transition [UML 1.4, pp. 2-147] is
    contained either as an "internalTransition" in a State, as a "transition" in
    a StateMachine, or as an "ownedElement" [UML 1.4, pp. 2-13] in a Model,
    Package, Artifact, Node or ClassifierRole (other containers excluded because
    of restrictions they make on the "ownedElement" containment in their
    wellformedness rules). The latter containment does not seem to make a lot of
    sense.

    The question is: is the containment of a Transition as an "ownedElement"
    intended? If so, please explain the meaning of e.g. a Transition contained
    directly in an otherwise empty Package.

    If not, it should be stated unambiguously so in the wellformedness rules for
    Transition, e.g.:

    self.namespace = null
