* The use of the Feature Label Mapping element for our stereotype
labels in all archetypes, package, and annotation mappings is a workaround for
the fact that it's not possible to leave the feature blank, or provide a default string
value, if we want to use a regular Label Mapping or Design Label Mapping
element. With the Read Only property set to true and the View Pattern set
to the stereotype string we want displayed, it really doesn't matter what feature
is mapped, actually. This approach prevents us from having to create multiple
label definitions in our graphical definition model and would likely cause us to
create multiple archetype figure definitions.
Subsequent archetypes are mapped in a similar manner, each using the
Referenced Child property, as mentioned earlier. Table 4-38 shows the
