Hi Ellen,
 
The discussion of subclassing in the second paragraph 
of Sec. 2 is a little unclear to me.  Toward the beginning it says 
"there is no need to define subclasses of the Container 
class.", but later allows that [the BES container] "may need to be defined as a subclass of the Container class to 
capture all the needed semantics."
 
Did the first statement really mean something like 
"there is no need to pre-define subclasses..." or "there is no need to define 
subclasses...at this time"?
 
[Apologies if this next part is way off base...some 
time has passed since I wrote the above and I don't have your document at hand 
at this time.]
 
It seemed to me that the MOF text was not in total 
agreement with the UML...esp. wrt some of the method return 
values...?
 
Cheers,
BobN
  
  
Folks, 
Here's the container model document for the OGSA call 
  Nov 2. 
https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc13994?nav=1 
  
I suspect most of you won't have time to 
  read it prior to the call, so I'll provide a general overview at the Nov 2 
  call. 
The XML section still needs 
  to be written (plan to have for OGSA F2F Nov 9-10). 
Ellen
