Alan Paull: Should it be http://xcri.org/profiles/catalog/1.2/terms ? (adding 1.2)
[edit] Should aim be removed now there is objective?
Alan Paull:
Better to leave aim in and map it to objective in MLO; then existing uses of it don't have to change.
[edit] General point on definitions
Can we avoid definitions that repeat the term being defined?
