RE: 28 Feb. Conference Call Report

I do not understand this direction of heading to meta-meta models.   Surely this will be ThingType, Thing & ThingRelation! (MetaClassType, MetaClass & MetaClassRelation)

I believe that we are talking different views of meta structure - and need to agree the broad boundaries of these views, prior to 
establishing a framework (and subsequent decompostion)  within each view.  

The UML semantic structure of Foundation, Behavioural Elements & General Mechanism packages , and then further decomposition 
within these packages has been a good way to communicate a complex topic.

Is there a consolidated set of URLs for the existing meta models - to be able to review, and see if we are talking apples & apples.

** unfortunately - I am unable to make the phone discussions -  4:00AM (in Oz) is not my best time of day!

Look forward to your comments.
