XMI24 — XML Schema for Associations

Open Closed All
  • Key: XMI24-176
  • Legacy Issue Number: 18379
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Rule 7 in section 8.2.1 deals with serialization of association instances (links).
    At the moment it uses <xsd:choice minOccurs=”0” maxOccurs=”unbounded”> for the ends. Though MOF is constrained to binary Associations, this would allow no, one, or even many ends to be serialized – which would never be valid.
    It would be a lot cleaner and more sensible to use <xsd:all> which requires exactly 2 ends.
    NB Rule 7 does not allow the use of XML attributes for the association ends, which would be allowed if the same reference were on an Object. I’m not convinced it would be useful (and it would not be Canonical XMI) but we should confirm that.
