UML24 — Poor example of Dependency notation

Figure 7.37 shows an example of Dependency with <<dependencyName>> in guillemets.

The Notation text above it states:” The arrow may be labeled with an optional stereotype and an optional name.” However surely the name of the Dependency itself should not be in guillemets – only that of the stereotype.

Note that (subclasses of) Dependency are notated using a keyword instead of a stereotype so this should also be allowed for in the text.

Proposed resolution: the Figure should be revised to show the dependencyName not in guillemets and possibly with a stereotype name in guillemets.

The corresponding figure in UML 2.5 is Figure 7.18. The proposed resolution is accepted.
