[Essential Metamodel] Change Request : Allow Multiple Cardinality for Information_Concept in Information View

Hi.

Code: Select all

refinement_of_information_concept	
The Information Concept that a View is a refinement of	
Information_Concept	1:1	 	 
Actually no explicit way to allow an Information_View to be related to multiple Information_Concepts. The only indirect way is via "contained_information_views" slot. So for each additional Information Concept an Intermediary Information View needs to be created as well as well as 2 relations : IView -IConcept and IView-IView.

Changing the SLOT-MAXIMUM-CARDINALITY to Multiple will allow direct multiplicity from Information View.
This change is perfectly aligned with how cardinality is defined for similar conceptual-logical relations : Business_Capability-Business_Process, Product_Concept-Product_Type, etc.

Best regards.

Hi Tshitshi,

we will review this request for inclusion in our next meta-model release. In principle, your request makes sense and, as you suggest is consistent with other mappings between Conceptual and Logical Design classes.

Regards,
