UML25 — Location: 9.7.5 Examples p 135 Political Correctness

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML25-328
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17910
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    When you say that the generalization by Gender into woman and man is complete and disjoint you are making a politically sensitive statement. You need a caveat, perhaps as a footnote, acknowledging that you are only using this for sample syntax purposes and not claiming facts about the world.

  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    Agreed about the political sensitivity. This should actually be a blanket disclaimer for the entire specification.
