Specification
Description
An OMG specification, named by its acronym (UML, SysML, DDS, CORBA, AMI4CCM…) with an optional version. Adopted ISO/IEC versions carry the joint designation in the ISO flavor.
Syntax
OMG identifiers follow: OMG {Acronym}[ {Version}]. The version is free-form and stored verbatim ("1.0", "2.5.1", "5 beta 3", "1.1"); an identifier without a version ("OMG CORBA") names the specification as a whole.
Examples 5
OMG UML 2.5.1
OMG SysML 1.6
OMG DDS 5 beta 3
OMG AMI4CCM 1.0
OMG CORBA
Components Used
OMG Specification identifiers are composed of these elements:
Publisher
EnumerationThe OMG token
OMG
e.g.
OMGAcronym
StringThe specification's acronym
e.g.
:acronymUMLVersion
StringFree-form version string, stored verbatim
Optional. "1.0", "2.5.1", "5 beta 3"
e.g.
:version2.5.1Part
StringVolume or format segment after the version
Optional (PtC/PTC ballot volumes and formal/ documents)
e.g.
:partformalAlgebraic Relations
Relations that can involve Specification identifiers:
| Relation | Description | Syntax | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versionless | A bare acronym names the specification without an edition | OMG {Acronym} | OMG CORBA |
