Meta-Constraints
« on: October 27, 2018, 11:32:04 pm »
Is there a difference between the following items in Line 1 when determining the umlRole for a <<metaconstraint>>?

Line 1: client, source, end[0].role, and informationSource

Same question for Line 2: supplier, target, end[1].role, informationTarget

Besides the normal user guide information, the following is also a reference that makes me question the difference (if there is any at all):

Not to EA.

It may make a difference to you if you want to be strict when describing your profile. From a technical view, not all metaclasses have the same umlRoles.

client/supplier would be for dependency types
source/target would be for directed relationship types
end[0].role/end[1].role would be for associations
informationSource/informationTarget would be for information flow.
