UML25 — Association notation for properties does not allow representation of aggregation

Open Closed All

  • Summary:

    UML 2.5 issue.

    There is a sentence in 9.5.4: “In a Classifier, an attribute may also be shown using association notation, with no adornments at the tail of the arrow.” This does not allow the use of diamond notation to represent properties that are aggregations or compositions.

  • Disposition Summary:

    This is independent of issue 15237, which complains about the very existence of this notation. If the notation
    is to remain, at least it needs to be comprehensibly defined.
