v15.2 – What is FQN of «metaclass» (from Profiles)?

[Paolo F Cantoni]

Our MDG generation repository has metadata in it accumulated over the decades!

We've just noticed (following on from v15.2 – What is FQN of «stereotype» (from Profiles)? that our «metaclass»es have FQNs "all over the place"!  Obviously, the FQN (and even casing of the stereotype) has changed over the years!

What is the correct FQN for a «metaclass» stereotype these days?

TIA,
Paolo

As a side note: Metarelationship and its comrades are in the profile Profile Constraints. So it's «Profile Constraints::stereotyped relationship» and so on (the others without a blank).

As you'd expect, q, it's not quite that simple...  «metaclass» shows up as UML Standard Profile::Metaclass, but in the t_xref it can come in as @STEREO;Name=Metaclass;FQName=StandardProfileL2::Metaclass;@ENDSTEREO;
when it's not a GUID.

That's why I threw in a side note, not an answer ;-) Imagine all that stuff were documented by Sparx. Would save their supporters quite some of their time.

metaclass comes from UML Standard Profile

However, prior to UML 2.5 that was actually called StandardProfileL2

The profile was defined in EA with the old name, and it uses an alias to display the updated name.
