Description:

A read link action is a link action that navigates across associations to retrieve objects on one end.

Constraints:

Signature: visibility() : Boolean;
Description: Visibility of the open end must allow access to the object performing the action.
The OCL used here is not normative.
Editor's notes: participant not defined.
Expression: true
Original: let host : Classifier = self.context in let openend : Property = self.endData->select(ed | ed.value->size() = 0)->asSequence()->first().end in openend.visibility = #public or self.endData->exists(oed | not oed.end = openend and (host = oed.end.participant or (openend.visibility = #protected and host.allSupertypes->includes(oed.end.participant))))

Signature: type_and_ordering() : Boolean;
Description: The type and ordering of the result output pin are same as the type and ordering of the open association end.
Expression: let openend : Property = self.endData->select(ed | ed.value->size() = 0)->asSequence()->first().end in self.result.type = openend.type and self.result.ordering = openend.ordering

Signature: one_open_end() : Boolean;
Description: Exactly one link-end data specification (the 'open' end) must not have an end object input pin.
Expression: self.endData->select(ed | ed.value->size() = 0)->size() = 1

Signature: navigable_open_end() : Boolean;
Description: The open end must be navigable.
Expression: let openend : Property = self.endData->select(ed | ed.value->size() = 0)->asSequence()->first().end in openend.isNavigable()

Signature: compatible_multiplicity() : Boolean;
Description: The multiplicity of the open association end must be compatible with the multiplicity of the result output pin.
The OCL used here is not normative.
Editor's notes: No multiplicity. No more AssociationEnd. Needs further investigation. Use of Element is a hack.
Expression: let openend : Element = self.endData->select(ed | ed.value->size() = 0)->asSequence()->first().end in openend.compatibleWith(self.result)
Original: let openend : Property = self.endData->select(ed | ed.value->size() = 0)->asSequence()->first().end in openend.multiplicity.compatibleWith(self.result.multiplicity)

Operations:

No additional operations.
