UMLR — Simplification of Stereotypes Usage<--Create and Usage<--Instantiate

  • Key: UMLR-833
  • Status: open  
  • Source: N/A ( Robert Hairgrove)
  • Summary:

    In the Standard Profile described under section 22, there are two stereotypes presently defined which extend Usage but do much the same thing, lacking any detailed specification of how they should be different: «Create» and «Instantiate». However, the «Create» stereotype also extends BehavioralFeature, which seems to indicate that this should be a separate stereotype. This is also the only stereotype which appears to do "double duty" within the Standard Profile.

    I suggest that the extension Usage<-«Create» be removed entirely in favor of Usage<«Instantiate», leaving the BehavioralFeature<-«Create» extension in place. This way, «Create» and «Destroy» become orthogonal.
