Ok ... so:
ScopingEntity that defines the scope of the entity...
ContainerEntity that contains a given entity...
And I'll use ContainerEntity for C#.
I was thinking of the way in which Moose interprets them...

But it is a bit strange that:
- NamedEntities have a ParentPackage relationship. Maybe this
ParentPackage could
be removed for the sake of consistency in the metamodel
and we keep the more generic belongsTo (a ContainerEntity)
you have two links.
a class is scoped by a namespace
a class is contained in a file/package
in java and C3 the two are mixed but these links that orthogonal.
- then Type as the relationship "container" (a ContainerEntity) which is
explicitly documented as: "Container is a namespace, not a package
(Smalltalk)."
Why not call it Namespace in this case? And,
again, why should we treat
differently Namespaces and Packages?

Objet: [Moose-dev] Namespace and Packages
I am creating a C# extractor for Moose. I am using Fame for java to
access Famix
objects and populate their information (similar to VerveineJ).
While creating Famix.Class objects for C# classes, I need to set parent
namespace to represent the namespace that the class belongs to.
However, the Famix.Class only provides a single method to set the parent
and that
take a Famix.Package as a parameter. So, the following expression
is an error for a Famix.Class object.
class.setParentPackage(Namespace)
Since, C# uses namespaces instead of Packages to organize classes, it
would be
good to set a Famix.Namespace to be the parent of a class. Does
meta-model not provide a way that we can set Famix.Namespace as a parent of
a class. I can see another method in the Famix.Class and that is
SetContainer(ContainerEntity se). Can I use this method to set a Namespace
to be the parent of a Class and keeping the parentPackage relationship
empty?
thanks.
Usman
