[DDI-SRG] [CDI] new Canonical XMI after model transform

[Flavio Rizzolo]

Achim,

A few issues I noticed on a quick review:

- The definition of Identifier seems old. It says "Basic object 
requiring identification. Elements of this type are versioned and 
provide administrative metadata properties." It's a datatype now, so it 
should probably say "identifier for objects requiring short- or 
long-lasting referencing and management", or something like that. The 
example seems wrong as well "Use for First Order Classes whose content 
does not need to be discoverable in its own right but needs to be 
related to multiple classes.". I suggest to remove it.

- Some of the attributes, e.g. ddiIdentifier, uri, appear to be of type 
"EA_Java_Types_Package". I'm not sure how that happened.

- There is a ModelIdentification datatype, right under the DataTypes 
package, that doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

- I was just going over the Documentation.xlsx and noticed a couple of 
enumerations that didn't ring a bell. I checked and couldn't find them 
in the latest EA file. They are WorkflowPattern and StringStructureType. 
There might be others. I'm not sure where they are coming from.

That's all for now. I'll keep checking.

Flavio
