Re: [epf-dev] Reusing artifacts - question
It was not our goal to provide tools for creating formal artifact models in
this release. UML tools such as Rational Software Modeler do so a much
better job at modeling. EPFC is more about documenting such models. You
could create the model there and then document these in the Artifact's Main
Description field or a separate Concept element.
You can model some form of containment in EPF, but is not what you are
asking for. You can right-clicking on an artifact and create a new sub
artifact. However, what you describe in your example would be containment
on the M0 level. We model containment on the M1 level only. In other
words, you want to model that instances of Classes can be a part of
instances of Business Models. However, instances of Analysis and Design
Models also contain Classes. We model composition one meta-model level
higher: We say that the Use Case Model model concept comprises of Actor and
Use Cases or the Business Model comprises of Business Entities and Business
Workers, i.e. the model definition is decomposed into sub-model definitions.
Hence, you only model composition here if the children are part of the
definition of the parent. Classes are not part of the Business Model
definition. They are reused and tailored for Business Models. Hence, they
are not a part. However, the instances of these Classes can be a part of an
instance of a Business Model.
As it is often the case that you find decomposition on M1 and well as M0 it
is a bit confusing. I get confused myself a lot, I have to admit :-)
P.S.: I think question like these are better discussed in the newsgroup to
reach a broader audience. This email list is for EPF developers.
Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.

[epf-dev] Reusing artifacts - question
I have an Artifact in Method Content (say, "class").
I have two other artifacts in Method Content, say "Business Model" and
"Subsystem".
How do I say that Business Model and Subsystem both contain (many) classses?
Thanks!
