UML22 — Move Comment into Basic and add Kind

  • Key: UML22-547
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7782
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Move Comment into Basic and add Kind
    The ability to annotate and describe elements and diagrams is pretty
    fundamental so should be included in Basic.
    There should also be the recognition that there are different kinds of
    comment: for example most tools have a dialog allowing people to enter a
    Description for an Element; and separately may allow the element to be
    annotated on diagrams in a particular context. At the moment there is no
    way to distinguish these.
    The UML Metamodel itself is an example of the need for different kinds
    of Comment: each Class has a number of distinct sections (e.g.
    Description, Semantics, Notation).
    Hence there should be a 'kind' attribute on Comment to reflect this.
