Issue 4586: Tracking identity of replicated / interchanged metadata (mof-rtf)
Source: DSTC (Dr. Stephen Crawley, nobody)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: When metadata is copied from one repository to another, or saved as an
XMI document, it can be necessary to know if the physically distinct
copies of the metadata are logically the same or logically different.
There need to be mechanisms for testing whether copies are logically the
same or different that work in all cases, not just within the context of
a single repository.
