SysML Block Definition Diagram (BDD)

A Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD) that leverages this Snippet:

Wikipedia: '"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is an English-language pangram — a sentence that contains all of the letters of the English alphabet. '

Webel Parsing Analysis: The name of a Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD) may be drawn from a focus Snippet OR may simply indicate a topic of interest to the analysis

There are lots of "anchor" dashed-lines in this Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD):

Webel Parsing Analysis: If the dashed-line "anchors" from your «snippet» ElementGroup symbols to elicited elements make a «pa» Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD) too hard to read, try making them light grey using symbol properties.

If the diagram is still too cluttered consider this:

Webel Parsing Analysis: Where too many dashed line "anchors" from Snippets to elicited members lead to clutter they may be selectively omitted from a Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD) once each member has been collected.

Notes

[MODELLING, NAMING, POLICY]{STRICT} Webel Parsing Analysis: The name of a Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD) may be drawn from a focus Snippet OR may simply indicate a topic of interest to the analysis

[DISPLAY, STYLE, TIP]{SUGGESTED} Webel Parsing Analysis: If the dashed-line "anchors" from your «snippet» ElementGroup symbols to elicited elements make a «pa» Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD) too hard to read, try making them light grey using symbol properties.

[MODELLING, NAMING, POLICY]{RECOMMENDED} Webel Parsing Analysis: Where too many dashed line "anchors" from Snippets to elicited members lead to clutter they may be selectively omitted from a Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD) once each member has been collected.

[TIP]{EDITORIAL} In Webel Parsing Analysis every Package, Model, or Diagram used to perform Parsing Analysis MUST have the stereotype keyword «pa» applied, and MUST live under a top-level Model or Package 'source' separate from the rest of the project model.

[POLICY, STYLE]{STRICT} Webel «pa» Parsing Analysis Diagrams (PADs) are "scratchpads" used to elicit model elements traceably from text Snippets (extracts from source Documents). While BDDs are a good initial choice, most types of SysML diagram can be used as a «pa» diagram.

[MODELLING, NAMING, POLICY]{STRICT} Webel Parsing Analysis: Acronym: PAD = Parsing Analysis Diagram (may be nearly any diagram type, except those types that must be owned by an elicited model element)

[DISPLAY, MODELLING, POLICY]{STRONG} Webel Parsing Analysis: A "focus" Parsing Analysis Diagram (PAD) for one or more Snippets SHOULD always show the /member tagged value of every Snippet.

[MODELLING, NAVIGATION, PATTERN, TIP, TOOL]{STRONG} Webel: UML/SysML: Navigation: ALWAYS offer a way out of a diagram (usually up a hierarchy, but possibly across) using a navigable symbol (linked to a diagram) and/or a diagram symbol. Avoid "cul-de-sacs"! [But beware of shared package cross-dependencies]

[TOOL]{INFORMATIVE} In MagicDraw/Cameo the dashed line symbol from a UML Comment or SysMLv1.x ElementGroup to an annotatedElement is called an 'anchor'.

Snippets (quotes/extracts)

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is an English-language pangram — a sentence that contains all of the letters of the English alphabet.

... an English-language pangram — a sentence that contains all of the letters of the English alphabet.

The modern English alphabet is a Latin alphabet consisting of 26 letters, each having an upper- and lower-case form.
