Namespace

Namespace is defined in KerML specification on page 47. Excerpt from the machine readable specification:

A Namespace is an Element that contains other Elements, known as its members, via Membership Relationships with those Elements. The members of a Namespace may be owned by the Namespace, aliased in the Namespace, or imported into the Namespace via Import Relationships.

A Namespace can provide names for its members via the memberNames and memberShortNames specified by the Memberships in the Namespace. If a Membership specifies a memberName and/or memberShortName, then those are names of the corresponding memberElement relative to the Namespace. For an OwningMembership, the owningMemberName and owningMemberShortName are given by the Element name and shortName. Note that the same Element may be the memberElement of multiple Memberships in a Namespace (though it may be owned at most once), each of which may define a separate alias for the Element relative to the Namespace.

The following diagram shows the inheritance hierarchy of Namespace according to the specification:

// Class: Namespace
digraph {
Namespace [label="Namespace (KerML)" shape=plaintext]
Element -> Namespace
Element [label="Element (KerML)" shape=plaintext]
}

The following table shows all attributes defined for Namespace according to the specification together with the documentation from the machine readable specification. Note that in SysIDE API, we use snake case for attribute names instead of Pascal case used in the specification.

Attribute	Documentation from machine readable specification
Attributes defined in `Namespace`:
`members`	The set of all member `Elements` of this `Namespace`, which are the `memberElements` of all `memberships` of the `Namespace`.
`memberships`	All `Memberships` in this `Namespace`, including (at least) the union of `ownedMemberships` and `importedMemberships`.
`owned_imports`	The `ownedRelationships` of this `Namespace` that are `Imports`, for which the `Namespace` is the `importOwningNamespace`.
`owned_members`	The owned `members` of this `Namespace`, which are the `ownedMemberElements` of the `ownedMemberships` of the `Namespace`.
`owned_memberships`	The `ownedRelationships` of this `Namespace` that are `Memberships`, for which the `Namespace` is the `membershipOwningNamespace`.
Attributes defined in `Element`:
`declared_name`	The declared name of this `Element`.
`declared_short_name`	An optional alternative name for the `Element` that is intended to be shorter or in some way more succinct than its primary `name`. It may act as a modeler-specified identifier for the `Element`, though it is then the responsibility of the modeler to maintain the uniqueness of this identifier within a model or relative to some other context.
`documentation`	The Documentation owned by this Element.
`element_id`	The globally unique identifier for this Element. This is intended to be set by tooling, and it must not change during the lifetime of the Element.
`is_implied_included`	Whether all necessary implied Relationships have been included in the `ownedRelationships` of this Element. This property may be true, even if there are not actually any `ownedRelationships` with `isImplied = true`, meaning that no such Relationships are actually implied for this Element. However, if it is false, then `ownedRelationships` may not contain any implied Relationships. That is, either all required implied Relationships must be included, or none of them.
`is_library_element`	Whether this Element is contained in the ownership tree of a library model.
`name`	The name to be used for this `Element` during name resolution within its `owningNamespace`. This is derived using the `effectiveName()` operation. By default, it is the same as the `declaredName`, but this is overridden for certain kinds of `Elements` to compute a `name` even when the `declaredName` is null.
`owned_annotations`	The `ownedRelationships` of this `Element` that are `Annotations`, for which this `Element` is the `annotatedElement`.
`owned_elements`	The Elements owned by this Element, derived as the ownedRelatedElements of the ownedRelationships of this Element.
`owned_relationships`	The Relationships for which this Element is the owningRelatedElement.
`owner`	The owner of this Element, derived as the `owningRelatedElement` of the `owningRelationship` of this Element, if any.
`owning_membership`	The `owningRelationship` of this `Element`, if that `Relationship` is a `Membership`.
`owning_namespace`	The `Namespace` that owns this `Element`, which is the `membershipOwningNamespace` of the `owningMembership` of this `Element`, if any.
`owning_relationship`	The Relationship for which this Element is an ownedRelatedElement, if any.
`qualified_name`	The full ownership-qualified name of this `Element`, represented in a form that is valid according to the KerML textual concrete syntax for qualified names (including use of unrestricted name notation and escaped characters, as necessary). The `qualifiedName` is null if this `Element` has no `owningNamespace` or if there is not a complete ownership chain of named `Namespaces` from a root `Namespace` to this `Element`.
`short_name`	The short name to be used for this `Element` during name resolution within its `owningNamespace`. This is derived using the `effectiveShortName()` operation. By default, it is the same as the `declaredShortName`, but this is overridden for certain kinds of `Elements` to compute a `shortName` even when the `declaredName` is null.
`textual_representations`	The `TextualRepresentations` that annotate this `Element`.
