<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear Tivadar,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You are right in you assessment that
a MgaObject is meta specific. Thus for each meta you will have to create
a rule.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Mat's suggestion is actually quite interesting
and it might do the trick. I don't know if inheritance is supported across
packages.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The Udm:Object class is the base class
of all UDM objects. If we can express this in a pattern then you should
be able to match it. Unfortunately we didn't implement anything like this
either.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Sorry for not having a solution for
this one. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks,</font>
