Issue 10899: Profiles (odm-rtf)
Source: NIST (Dr. Conrad Bock, conrad.bock(at)nist.gov)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary: Profiles. In Section 16.6.5 (Profiles), third paragraph says that profiles not necessary because of metalevel separation. They are used as an alternative way to extend M2 classes with subclasses, in particular, where the subclases are defined at M1, even though they have the effect of being at M2.
Resolution: Delete section 16.6.4 and Replace text in section 16.6.5 as described below.
Revised Text: Replace the text of the first 2 sentences in the third paragraph in section 16.6.5 which currently reads:
Profiling in UML is necessary because of the strict separation of metalevels, and is useful partly because it allows re-use of the UML graphical rendering conventions, and also the UML graphical editors and other tools. OWL does not at present have a standard graphical representation.
with
Profiling makes it possible to reuse UML graphical rendering conventions, and take advantage of UML graphical editors and other tools. Stereotypes are used to extend the functionality of basic symbols, and thus reduce the number of symbols users are required to remember. While OWL does not have a standard graphical representation, the ODM profiles for RDF and OWL provide one.

Actions taken:

Discussion: 
FTF resources were scarce and priority was given to issues against normative sections, hence many issues such as this were left unresolved.

Disposition:	Deferred to RTF
