UMLR — New issue on notation for multiple stereotypes

  • Key: UMLR-87
  • Legacy Issue Number: 9599
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Fujitsu ( Tom Rutt)
  • Summary:

    Description of Problem

    Section 18.3.8 has the following paragraph:

    Presentation Options If multiple stereotypes are applied to an element,
    it is possible to show this by enclosing each stereotype name within a
    pair of guillemets and listing them after each other. A tool can choose whether it
    will display stereotypes or not. In particular, some tools can choose not to
    display “required stereotypes,” but to display only their attributes (tagged
    values) if any.

    Annex B has the following paragraph:

    If multiple keywords and/or stereotype names apply to the same model element,
    they all appear between the same pair of guillemets, separated by commas:
    “«” <label> [“,” <label>]* “»”

    These two paragraphs seem to contradict each other, since the annex B does
    not allow multiple guillemet pairs for the same element, while 18.3.8 does.

    Proposed Solution:
    Add clarification that Both presentation options should be allowed.
