Notation for template bindings
« on: June 15, 2023, 06:10:59 pm »
As far as I can see, EA uses a wrong notation for template bindings. The UML 2.5.1 specification states that “A TemplateBinding is shown as a dashed arrow with the tail on the bound element and the arrowhead on the template and the keyword «bind».” So it does not state that a hollow triangular arrowhead is used. See Figure 7.6 Template package with string parameters in UML 2.5.1 for an example.

When looking at older specifications, it seems that the older UML specifications have been inconsistent on this point. The inconsistency has been removed in UML 2.5.1. See e.g. https://issues.omg.org/issues/UML25-479.
