UML22 — uml.xsd schema file in ptc/2006-04-05 is not correctly generated

New ISSUE on UML 2.1 Schema File

Source: Tom Rutt (Fujitsu)

Criticality: URGENT

Problem Description:

The UML 2.1 RTF Final report cites the following supporting
documents:

ptc/2006-04-02 Unified Modeling Language: Superstructure
ptc/2006-04-03 Unified Modeling Language: Infrastructure
ptc/2006-04-04 Unified Modeling Language: XMI specifications
ptc/2006-04-05 Unified Modeling Language: XSD specifications

The uml.xsd schema file in ptc/2006-04-05 (which is an
informative document) is not correctly generated.

In particular, several of the enum values specified in this
schema have prefixes attached, which are not specified in the
Meta Model. For example, the visibilityKind enumeration has its
values improperly prefixed by the string “vis_” ( vis_public, vis_private …).

This has caused interoperability problems with existing tools,
since some of them have used the incorrectly generated xsd file for
uml There is a need to post a corrected uml 2.1 schema on the document server.

Also, the OMG document references for the supporting xmi and
schema files are not up to date in the superstructure specification.

Proposed Solution:

Post properly generated schemas in a new UML 2.1 XSD Specification
file on the server.

Post an updated version of the UML 2.1 RTF report which refers to
the correctly generated UML XSD specification file.

The Document references cited in Annex G of the UML 2.1
superstructure spec should be corrected to point at the most up
to date and correct specifications.
