  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    The last paragraph of 19.3.3 defines the semantics of Manifestation as follows: “An Artifact may embody, or manifest,
    a number of model elements. The Artifact owns the Manifestations, each representing the utilization of some
    PackageableElement. Profiles may extend the Manifestation relationship to indicate particular forms of embodiment.
    For example, «tool generated» and «custom code» might be two Manifestations for different Classes embodied in an
    Artifact.” This seems sufficiently clear.
    Disposition: Closed - No Change
