Class InformationItem

Namespace
NMF.Interop.Uml
Assembly
NMF.UMLInterop.dll

InformationItems represent many kinds of information that can flow from sources to targets in very abstract ways.  They represent the kinds of information that may move within a system, but do not elaborate details of the transferred information.  Details of transferred information are the province of other Classifiers that may ultimately define InformationItems.  Consequently, InformationItems cannot be instantiated and do not themselves have features, generalizations, or associations. An important use of InformationItems is to represent information during early design stages, possibly before the detailed modeling decisions that will ultimately define them have been made. Another purpose of InformationItems is to abstract portions of complex models in less precise, but perhaps more general and communicable, ways. <p>From package UML::InformationFlows.</p>

InformationItem()

Creates a new instance

public InformationItem()

Properties

ClassInstance

Gets the Class model for this type

public static IClass ClassInstance { get; }

Property Value

IClass

ReferencedElements

Gets the referenced model elements of this model element

public override IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement> ReferencedElements { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerableExpression<IModelElement>

Represented

Determines the classifiers that will specify the structure and nature of the information. An information item represents all its represented classifiers. <p>From package UML::InformationFlows.</p>

[XmlElementName("represented")]
[XmlAttribute(true)]
public ISetExpression<IClassifier> Represented { get; }

Property Value

ISetExpression<IClassifier>

Methods

GetClass()

Gets the Class for this model element

public override IClass GetClass()

Returns

IClass

GetCollectionForFeature(string)

Gets the Model element collection for the given feature

protected override IList GetCollectionForFeature(string feature)

Parameters

feature string

The requested feature

Returns

IList

A non-generic list of elements

Has_no(object, object)

An informationItem has no feature, no generalization, and no associations. self.generalization->isEmpty() and self.feature->isEmpty()

public bool Has_no(object diagnostics, object context)

Parameters

diagnostics object

The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context object

The cache of context-specific information.

Returns

bool

Not_instantiable(object, object)

It is not instantiable. isAbstract

public bool Not_instantiable(object diagnostics, object context)

Parameters

diagnostics object

The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context object

The cache of context-specific information.

Returns

bool

Sources_and_targets(object, object)

The sources and targets of an information item (its related information flows) must designate subsets of the sources and targets of the representation information item, if any. The Classifiers that can realize an information item can only be of the following kind: Class, Interface, InformationItem, Signal, Component. (self.represented->select(oclIsKindOf(InformationItem))->forAll(p | p.conveyingFlow.source->forAll(q | self.conveyingFlow.source->includes(q)) and p.conveyingFlow.target->forAll(q | self.conveyingFlow.target->includes(q)))) and (self.represented->forAll(oclIsKindOf(Class) or oclIsKindOf(Interface) or oclIsKindOf(InformationItem) or oclIsKindOf(Signal) or oclIsKindOf(Component)))

public bool Sources_and_targets(object diagnostics, object context)

Parameters

diagnostics object

The chain of diagnostics to which problems are to be appended.

context object

The cache of context-specific information.

Returns

bool
