UMLR — Notation for PrimitiveTypes

  • Key: UMLR-300
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19188
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    Latest UML 2.5 spec has

    In 21 Primitive Types 21.3 Notation

    “There is no notation for PrimitiveTypes. There is notation for literal values of PrimitiveTypes; this notation is covered in Clause 8.2.”

    However, in Figure 21.1 Primitive Types, there appears to be notation for PrimtitveTypes. And explicitly in 10.2.5 Examples

    “Figure 10.2 illustrates the notation for defining a PrimitiveType”

    Similarly in 10.2.4, a notation for PrimitiveType is described.

    So which is it? Is there notation for PrimitiveType or not? This needs to be made clear.

    Perhaps what is meant is “There is no notation for defining literals of any new (modeler-defined) PrimitiveType.” And replace the 2nd sentence with “There is notation for literal values of the UML-supplied PrimitiveTypes; this notation is covered in Clause 8.2.”
