UMLR — Initialization of complex fields

Is there a standard UML way of initializing complex fields. Several examples below

A: Integer (3,2) = (1,2,3,4,5,6)

A: Integer (3,2) = ((1,2,3), (4,5,6))

A: Integer (3,2) = ((1,2), (3,4), (5,6))

And are they all the same?

A: Integer (2,3) = (1,2,3,4,5,6)

A: Integer (2,3) = ((1,2,3), (4,5,6))

A: Integer (2,3) = ((1,2), (3,4), (5,6))

And are these the same?

And what’s the difference.

And here another set

Measurement (a Type)

Value: Real

Unit : String

Experiment:Measurement(3) = (1.0, “ft”, 2.0,”ft”,3,”ft”)

= ((1.0,”ft”), (2.0,”ft”), (3,”ft”))

Experiment:Measurement(3,2)) = (1.0, “ft”, 2.0,”ft”,3,”ft”, 4,”ft”, 5,”ft”,6,”ft”)

((1.0,”ft”), (2.0,”ft”), (3,”ft”), (4,”ft”), (5,”ft”), (6,”ft”))

(((1.0,”ft”), (2.0,”ft”), (3,”ft”)), ((4.0,”ft”), (5.0,”ft”), (6,”ft”)))

My preferences are for the last one above (the one with the extra set of parenthesis), because is better support composition

e.g.

NullResults:Measurement = (0.0,”ft”)

StartingResults:Measurement(3) = (NullResults, NullResults, NullResults)

Experiment:Measurement(3,2) = (StartingResults, ((4.0,”ft”),(5.0,”ft”),(6.0,”ft”)))

The UML spec is silent about the correct way of doing this. I’d like to have a language independent way of doing this.
