[mdr-users] question about mof metadata layer

Hi Martin,

I´ve got a question about the notation of metamodels.
The following picture should represent a class symbol that models the class
"Port" from the UML2 metamodel. Let's assume I would create the metamodel
not in the Posidon UML-tool, but in fictitious MOF-Tool. Is it rigth that
the notation would nearly look the same ? That means, does the class symbol
represents a MOF-Class wich name-Attribut has the value "Port" in this
example? 
Or can I say that it is an instance of the MOF-Construct "Class" with the
value "Port" of name-attribute? 

   ________
  |        |
  |  Port  |
  |________|


    I just have another question? I wrote in the MOF-Specification v 1.4
the term "ContainedElements" in relating to classes. I didn't   mentioned
this term in any of my xmi-Files. What is it ? Is it an attribute (with the
type of a list) or is it just a constraint that defines wich elements 
may be included in an element ? If is a constraint - how is it defined or
implemented ?

Regards
Ludger
