17、cument. Foreword This Group Report (GR) has been produced by ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV). Modal verbs terminology In the present document “should“, “should not“, “may“, “need not“, “will“, “will not“, “can“ and “cannot“ are to be interpreted as desc
18、ribed in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of provisions). “must“ and “must not“ are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation. ETSI ETSI GR NFV-IFA 017 V2.1.1 (2017-02) 6 1 Scope The present document defines the guidelines that have to
19、 be taken into account during the creation of a protocol-neutral UML (Unified Modeling Language) information model. These guidelines are informative for the general reader, but need to be followed when designing models for the ETSI NFV Information Model. 2 References 2.1 Normative references Normati

25、 For the purposes of the present document, the abbreviations given in ETSI GS NFV 003 i.6 and the following apply: MAC Media Access Control UCC Upper Camel Case UML Unified Modeling Language 4 Overview UML defines a large number of basic model elements (UML artefacts). In order to assure consistent
26、and harmonious information models, only a selected subset of these artefacts are used in the UML model guidelines in the present document. The semantic of the selected artefacts is defined in i.2. The guidelines of each basic model artefact is divided into three parts: 1) Short description. 2) Graph
27、ical notation examples. 3) Properties. The guidelines have been developed using the Papyrus open source UML tool i.1. The ONF UML Modeling Guidelines i.4 have been used as a basis for these guidelines. The present document only uses a subset of the guidelines defined in the ONF UML Modeling Guidelin
28、es i.4. The parts not used are indicated clearly in each clause. 5 UML artefact descriptions 5.1 Classes 5.1.1 Description Classes are used to convey a structural (often called static) representation of an entity, including properties and attributes. 5.1.2 Class notation Figure 5.1.2-1: Graphical No
29、tation for classes As highlighted in figure 5.1.2-1, a class is represented with a name compartment and an attributes compartment. It is recommended that the name compartment contains also the assigned lifecycle stereotypes. The attributes compartment can be set in a diagram to not expose the attrib
30、utes or to expose some or all of the attributes. In some diagrams the attributes are hidden to reduce clutter, in others only a subset of the attributes is exposed to focus attention on those attributes. It is also possible to hide the attribute compartment of a class in the class diagrams where a l
31、arge number of classes need to be shown, as depicted in figure 5.1.2-2. ETSI ETSI GR NFV-IFA 017 V2.1.1 (2017-02) 8 Figure 5.1.2-2: Graphical Notation for Classes without Attributes Compartment It is recommended that the name compartment also show stereotypes for the class where relevant. When showi
32、ng stereotypes, the compartment may include the stereotype “OpenModelClass“ (as all classes in the model have this stereotype by default) and may also include other stereotypes. In the general UML definition a class may have name, attribute and operation compartments, as shown in figure 5.1.2-3, but
33、 since the structural part and the behavioural part of the model are decoupled, the operation compartment, is not used and always hidden. Figure 5.1.2-3: Graphical Notation for Classes with Attributes and Deprecated Operations Compartment 5.1.3 Class properties A class has the following properties:
34、Name: - Follows Upper Camel Case (UCC) convention. Each class in the model has a unique name. An example of Upper Camel Case: NetworkService. Documentation: - Contains a short definition. The documentation is carried in the “Applied comments“ field in Papyrus as shown on figure 5.1.3-1; i.e. the “Ow
35、ned comments“ field is not used. The complete documentation should be written in a single comment; i.e. at most one “Applied comment“. Figure 5.1.3-1: Entering documentation ETSI ETSI GR NFV-IFA 017 V2.1.1 (2017-02) 9 Superclass: - Inheritance may be used to deal with shared properties. Multiple inh
36、eritance is not supported in ETSI NFV Information Model. Abstract: - Indicates if the object class can be instantiated or is just used for inheritance; i.e. abstract classes will not be instantiated. Additional properties are defined in the “OpenModelClass“ stereotype which extents by default (requi
37、red) the “metaclass“ Class as shown on figure 5.1.3-2. Figure 5.1.3-2: “OpenModelClass“ Stereotype - support: square4 This property qualifies the support of the object class at the management interface. See definition in clause 5.9. - condition: square4 This property contains the condition for the c
38、ondition-related support qualifiers. The following properties of the OpenModelClass stereotype are not used for ETSI NFV Information Model: objectCreationNotification. objectDeletionNotification. The following class stereotype is not used for ETSI NFV Information Model: Choice. The following UML def
39、ined class properties are not used: Is leaf (default = false). Is active (default = false). Visibility (default = public). 5.2 Attributes in classes 5.2.1 Description Attributes contain the properties of an object class. Note that the roles of navigable association ends become an attribute at the ot
40、her associated end when this association end is owned by the classifier; see also “Role Type“ property in clause 5.3.3. ETSI ETSI GR NFV-IFA 017 V2.1.1 (2017-02) 10 NOTE: The association end can also be owned by the association itself in which case it does not become an attribute. 5.2.2 Attribute no
41、tation The notation, shown in figure 5.2.2-1, is: |“| : = . NOTE: When no default is relevant or no default is defined, the “=“ is not shown. Figure 5.2.2-1: Graphical Notation for object class with attributes 5.2.3 Attribute properties An attribute has the following properties: Name: - Follows Lowe
42、r Camel Case (LCC) and is unique across all attribute names in the inheritance tree. An example of Lower Camel Case: virtualMemSize. - It is recommended that all Boolean typed attribute names start with is (e.g. isAbstract), or a verb such as has and the whole attribute name should be composed in a
43、way that it is possible to answer it by true or false. Documentation: - Contains a short definition. The documentation is carried in the “Applied comments“ field in Papyrus; i.e. the “Owned comments“ field is not used. The complete documentation. Type: - Refers to a datatype or a basic UML type. See
44、 clause 5.5. - If it is needed to reference another information model element (i.e. class), then an association is used (see clause 5.3). Default Value: - Provides the value that the attribute has to start with in case the value is not provided during creation, or already defined because of a system
45、 state. Multiplicity (*, 1, 1*, 01, ): - Defines the number of values the attribute can simultaneously have: square4 * is a list attribute with 0, one or multiple values; square4 1 attribute has always one value; square4 1* is a list attribute with at least one value; square4 01 attribute may have n
46、o or at most one value; square4 Default value is 1; square4 Other values are possible; e.g. “217“. ETSI ETSI GR NFV-IFA 017 V2.1.1 (2017-02) 11 Additional properties are defined in the “OpenModelAttribute“ stereotype which extents by default (required) the “metaclass“ Property, as shown on figure 5.
47、2.3-1. Figure 5.2.3-1: “OpenModelAttribute“ Stereotype - isInvariant: square4 This property identifies if the value of the attribute can be changed after it has been created. - support: square4 This property qualifies the support of the object class at the management interface. See definition in cla
48、use 5.9. - condition: square4 This property contains the condition for the condition-related support qualifiers. Other properties: - PassedByReference: square4 This property is only applied to attributes that have an object class defined as their type; i.e. association member ends owned by the class
49、 which became attributes. The stereotype is applied on a case by case basis. Figure 5.2.3-2 is showing this stereotype. square4 The property defines that the attribute contains only the reference (e.g. name, identifier, address) of the referred object instance(s) when being transferred across the interface. Otherwise the attribute contains the complete information of the object instance(s) when being transferred across the interface. ETSI ETSI GR NFV-IFA 017 V2.1.1 (2017-02) 12 Figure 5.2.3-2: “P
