Do you have the URI for that.  I am actually kind of suspicious of, but of
course anxious to see, the validity of the approach.  Although OMG is trying
to avoid being tied with Objected-Oriented.  But UML is based on OO, which
has a closed-world semantics.  I wonder how it can handle the open-world
semantics without breaking existing OO paradigm.
