UMLR — UML2 Super/Deployments/Manifestation

  • Key: UMLR-24
  • Legacy Issue Number: 7229
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Manifestation should inherit from Realization

    In Section 10.3.10 and Figure 124 it would make more sense for
    Manifestation to inherit from Realization rather than directly from
    Abstraction. The semantics of Realization are described as "A
    Realization signifies that the client set of elements are an
    implementation of the supplier set,.." which surely includes
    manifestation.
    The spec also states that Realization may be used to model
    transformations, which fits with the example given in Manifestation:
    "<<tool generated>> and <<custom code>> might be two manifestations for
    different classes".

    BTW There is a missing word in the description of Manifestation "A
    manifestation is the concrete physical of one or more model elements by
    an artifact."
