Looks great. I copied it over to the new wiki page (fixing the typo)
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/UCR/Vocabulary_Mapping_for_Data_Int
egration

and corrected the link at:
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/UCR/Use_Cases

Do you feel the final paragraph (below) is essential to this use case?

To me, that paragraph takes the use case beyond mere data integration
into territory covered by existing use cases.

On the other hand, without it, the problem as stated at the beginning of
the use case isn't quite answered:

"John has been given the job of analyzing how exposed his division's
business processes are to changes in their IT maintenance contracts."

To address this, I modified the final rule to the following:

If bp is a BusinessProcess that has a Dependency on Application app
   and x is a Server with MaintenanceContract mc that hosts Application
app 
      then bp has a Dependency on mc

How does this (and the rest of the use case) sound?
