UMLR — Use of Qualifier and Qualified in same section of UML 2.5 spec should be more clearly disambiguated

  • Key: UMLR-391
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    In Section 9.5, there are several statements mentioning "qualifiers"
    e.g.,
    A Property that is a memberEnd may itself have other Properties that serve as qualifiers.
    and
    The notation for qualifiers is defined in 11.5 Associations.

    However, there are several statements mentioning "qualified"
    e.g.,

    • 'subsets’ <property-name> means that the Property is a proper subset of the Property identified by <property-name>, where <property-name> may be qualified.
    • ‘redefines’ <property-name> means that the Property redefines an inherited Property identified by <property-name>, where <property-name> may be qualified.

    I suspect they are discussing different things. A qualified name vs an association end qualifier.

    Please have mercy on us and make the usages clearer.
    Thanks
