UML syntax: DataType

[ronaldtse]

e.g.

data_type "Banking Information" {
  "art code"
  "CCT Number"
}

primitive Integer

enum Address {
  Mr.
  Mrs.
}

Thoughts?

@ronaldtse lets also add attribute name to syntax, like this:

data_type "Banking Information" {
  attribute "art code"
  attribute "CCT Number"
}

primitive Integer

enum Address {
  attribute "Mr."
  attribute "Mrs."
}

I think we can add "attribute" for easier parsing for data type, but let's allow a shorthand notation.

For enum, those are not "attributes" but data instances. Calling them attributes is misleading. We can use entry or something like that. But still I prefer having a shorthand notation.

Ok, got you, lets introduce short notation: when entry for enum or class does not equal to predefined names(generalizes| aggregation|method) will treat as a field for class or entry for enum?

Yeah, e.g.:

class A {
  my_attr1
  attribute my_attr2
}

enum A {
  my_val1
  entry my_val2
}

?
