<p>A couple of other issues:</p>
<p>- The "refine" association seems to have a unique name now, even
in the non-unique names xmi. For instance, Concept "refines"
IndividualMember. Instead, we have Concept
"Concept_refines_IndividualMember" IndividualMember.</p>
<p>- Identifier appears in all classes in the inheritance chains.
For instance, Activity has Identifier, and so does Step, which is
an extension of Activity. However, only the top non-abstract class
in any inheritance chain should have Identifiable.</p>
<p>- Which brings me to the next issue: abstract classes should not
be identifiable, should they? They are never instantiated, so it
seems pointless they hay an identifier.<br>

<p>Achim,</p>
<p>A few issues I noticed on a quick review: <br>
</p>
<p>- 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.<br>
</p>
<p> - Some of the attributes, e.g. ddiIdentifier, uri, appear to
be of type "EA_Java_Types_Package". I'm not sure how that
happened. <br>
</p>
<p>- There is a ModelIdentification datatype, right under the
DataTypes package, that doesn't seem to be used anywhere. <br>
</p>
<p>- 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.</p>
<p>That's all for now. I'll keep checking.</p>
