UML25 — ElementImport semantics

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML25-206
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17610
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Management Group ( Andrew Watson)
  • Summary:

    "An ElementImport identifies an Element in a different Namespace, and allows the Element to be referenced using its name without a qualifier in the Namespace owning the ElementImport."

    Firstly, different to what?

    Secondly, "its name" is confusing, since the name may be changed via aliasing.

    I think this should be rewritten as: "An ElementImport identifies a NamedElement in a Namespace other than the one that owns it, and allows that NamedElement to be referenced using an unqualified name in the Namespace owning the ElementImport."
