Re: [uddi-spec] RDDL overviewURL

[Anne Thomas Manes <anne@manes.net>]

Paul,

Have you considered defining two additional tModels for rddl:nature and 
rddl:purpose? I think it would be useful to be able to specify these 
properties directly within a tModel rather than pointing to an external 
RDDL document.
