17.4 PrimitiveTypes

   A number of primitive types have been defined for use in the specification of the UML metamodel. These include primitive types such as Integer, Boolean, and String. These types are reused by both MOF and UML, and may potentially be reused also in user models. Tool vendors, however, typically provide their own libraries of data types to be used when modeling with UML.

    The contents of the PrimitiveType s package is shown in Figure 17.11. The PrimitiveType s package is one of the packages of the AuxiliaryConstructs package.
