Interface NameSpace


  • @UML(identifier="NameSpace",
         specification=ISO_19103)
    public interface NameSpace
    A domain in which names given by character strings are defined. Every GenericName must be valid in a namespace. For a LocalName, this means that the name must exist in the current namespace. For a ScopedName, this means:

    1. The head of a ScopedName must be a LocalName which is valid in this namespace.
    2. The tail must either be:
      • a LocalName which is valid in the NameSpace associated with the head, or
      • another ScopedName with these same constraints on head and tail, applied to the NameSpace associated with the head.

        @UML(identifier="isGlobal",
             obligation=MANDATORY,
             specification=ISO_19103)
        boolean isGlobal()
        Indicates whether this namespace is a "top level" namespace. Global, or top-level namespaces are not contained within another namespace. There is no namespace called "global" or "root" which contains all of the top-level namespaces. Hence, this flag indicates whether the namespace has a parent.
        Returns:
        true if this namespace has no parent.
