UML25 — Location: Table 21-1 Unlimited Natural P. 726 - Infinity

Open Closed All
  • Key: UML25-446
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18096
  • Status: closed

  • Summary:

    The infinity value was called 'infinity' in UML 2.3 and 2.4. It is called 'unlimited' in OCL. It is called 'unlimited' in 8.2.4. Introducing the new term 'unbounded' seems undesirable, particularly in view of the familiarity and appropriateness of the mathematical concept of 'infinity'. [OCL should change to 'infinity'. UML Integer should grow to include +/- infinity to eliminate the inconsistency wrt Real/UnlimitedNatural.]
    Suggest replace 'unbounded' by 'infinity'
