Apologies for being out of touch of late. I hope the following is not an 
off the wall suggestion or already been discussed.

Should there not be an extension to the ObjectType scheme defined for 
CCTS mapping? Such a extension would have a tree somthing like this:

                                                                         
           |-------------BasicCoreComponent
ExtrinsicObject---------CoreComponent----------------|
                                                                                    
|-------------AggregateCoreComponent


Such a tree should be rooted under ExtrintrinsicObject.

BTW Nikola and I have discussed that the canonical ObjectType scheme in 
2.5 is not right. We think it should be simplified so


-The only child of ObjectType should be RegistryObject and the current 
tree under that node

-all other non RIM types such as user defined ObjectTypes are 
descendents of ExtrinsicObject

This provides for a better model where for example a CoreComponent IS A 
ExtrinsicObject. This is more natural.

Thoughts?
