Subject: Re: [regrep-cc-review] Association Core Components - Represent withAssociations


Here is another issue from the CC Review discussions that I'd like to
raise up to the Registry TC. Below, Farrukh proposes the optional
inclusion of "version" on RegistryObject, and also the possible
elimination of RegistryEntry from our architecture. Comments are welcome
and approeciated.

Thanks,
Joe
