UPDM — element descriptions

Summary Throughout all element descriptions: Apparently a lot of text was generated (either by machine or cut-and-paste). However, one size does not fit all! The lead-in text of "Extensions" suggests the wrong (opposite) direction of extension. The current text reads for exmple "The following are extensions for MilestoneSequence:" but should read "The following metaclasses are extended by MilestoneSequence:" This needs to be corrected for all element descriptions in Part II.Similar, the lead-in text for Generalizations is not strictly wrong, but certainly sub-optimal. The current text is rather useless since it doesn't give a clue what is the general and what the specialized element. Maybe some text like: "The following elements are specialized by xyz:" is more adequate.Page 21, 7.1.2.2.4 Performs: The constraints "RealizesCapability.supplier" and "RealizesCapability.client" are not shown in the diagram.In general, Part II suffers from several formatting flaws (due to its generated nature?):Lines like "Generalizations", etc., stand much more out than section headers.Discriminators like "MODAF:" are flowing into the next word without space. For example on Page 24, 7.1.2.4.4 EnvironmentProperty: "MODAF:Asserts that...", should be "MODAF: Asserts that..." Some lines are stretched almost beyond readability.In many constraint descriptions, the initial character of the role name is wrongly capitalized.

Changes will be made to the template that is used to produce the document so that the text regarding extensions will be changed from
The following are extensions for ElementX :
To
The following metaclasses are extended by
ElementX

A similar approach will be taken with generalizations where they currently read.
The following are generalization relationships for Element X:
ElementY
This will be changed to
The ElementYZ is a specialization of elements:
ElementX
The heading section will change from Generalizations to Specialisations
