UML25 — Negatively phrased sentence

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML25-262
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17814
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    Is there some way of saying this clearly?

    Outside the nearest enclosing Package, a NamedElement marked as having package visibility is not visible. Only NamedElements that are not owned by Packages can be marked as having package visibility

  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    This quoted text leaves out the first sentence of the description of VisibilityKind::package, which is “A NamedElement
    with package visibility is visible to all Elements within the nearest enclosing Package (given that other owning
    Elements have proper visibility).” This is a positive sentence and the primary definition. Given what the semantics of
    this really is, it is not apparent how to say it more clearly.
    Disposition: Closed - No Change
