AnnotatingElement

AnnotatingElement is defined in KerML specification on page 146. Excerpt from the machine readable specification:

An AnnotatingElement is an Element that provides additional description of or metadata on some other Element. An AnnotatingElement is either attached to its annotatedElements by Annotation Relationships, or it implicitly annotates its owningNamespace.

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

}

The following table shows all attributes defined for AnnotatingElement 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 `AnnotatingElement`:
`annotated_elements`	The `Elements` that are annotated by this `AnnotatingElement`. If `annotation` is not empty, these are the `annotatedElements` of the `annotations`. If `annotation` is empty, then it is the `owningNamespace` of the `AnnotatingElement`.
`annotations`	The `Annotations` that relate this `AnnotatingElement` to its `annotatedElements`. This includes the `owningAnnotatingRelationship` (if any) followed by all the `ownedAnnotatingRelationships`.
`owned_annotating_relationships`	The `ownedRelationships` of this `AnnotatingElement` that are `Annotations`, for which this `AnnotatingElement` is the `annotatingElement`.
`owning_annotating_relationship`	The `owningRelationship` of this `AnnotatingRelationship`, if it is an `Annotation`
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`.
