UMLR — Limitation on isDimension Partition to be uncontained appears unwarranted

  • Key: UMLR-647
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    In 15.7.7.6 a constraint state that an isDimension Activity Partition may not be contained in another Activity Partition.

    Certain common modeling situations arise that make hierarchical dimensions of more than 2 levels useful.

    For example. Let Location be an isDimension ActivityPartition. It could have three lowerlevel partitions: US, EU, Other. Within the US, we could lower-level partitions, NY, Chicago, and Miami and so forth. It seems to me that the US would be also be an isDimension Activity Partition.
