There may be different views of an object in a Registry that would be best
associated with different ontology elements based on some context.  This would
essentially require support for multiple relations from a RegistryObject to 
ontology elements, where each relation may be qualified by its context. 

In the RIM, Classification is already a reified relation between a 
RegistryObject and its classification information.   Furthermore, its 
multiplicity already allows multiple relations for a given RegistryObject, so 
adding attributes to Classification object to indicate context seems an easy 
way to support this proposed Registry feature.
