Re: Votes (deadline Thursday noon, GMT): ISSUE-225, objects in the Universe of discourse

To follow up on the discussions we had in the telecon.

I agree with Stian on votes and reasons for the votes.

except that Derivation, Association are +1 because they qualify entity-entity relations with core concepts (Activities and Agents).
additional reason to -1 the rest of proposal 3 because they are relatively arbitrary collections of special cases of the core DM concepts.
