1. Road Map of WG2 New Project on “Framework for Registering Business Objects” Hajime Horiuchi Tokyo International University SC32 NXXX

2. Project Number 1.32.22.01.00.00

3. The title of the project will be changed following a resolution of ballot comments and response to WG1 resolution at this meeting Framework for the registration of metamodels for metadata as re-useable objects Framework of metamodel for registering reusable objects Other alternatives: Framework for the registration of metamodels to share objects

20. SC32 Seoul 020506 20 “Describe” in Meta Hierarchy Type & Instance ? Format / Templates? Register ? Just Information ? We need a common view to the Meta Hierarchy !

21.

43. MOF/XMI PAS Submission from OMG It was discussed at the Helsinki Meeting (Nov. 2001) that should we invite MOF/XMI to SC32 or not. Due to an unexpected accident at OMG, the process has been not active. However, OMG has reinitiated the task and committed to submit PAS to JTC1 by the end of August.
