  1. OMG Issue

UML25 — Location: 9.8.4 Notation p 141 representing the roles vs representing the instances

  • Key: UML25-331
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17913
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Soluta.net ( Adriano Comai)
  • Summary:

    a bit confusing. It says:
    may contain nested rectangles representing the instances playing its roles

    Do you mean
    may contain nested rectangles representing the roles the instance is playing? Please clarify nearby

    Give an example with the roles

  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    In an instance specification for a structured classifier, the nested rectangles do represent instances playing its roles.
    There are several examples in clause 11, and clause 9 refers the reader to them with a hyperlink. Moving the structured
    examples to clause 9 would make the forward reference problem worse, not better. The current specification text is
    accurate as it stands.
    Disposition: Closed - No Change
