<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I could not write a good example. I mean, the meta association. I
imagine the A, B and C classes are the meta classes and the association
between them are the meta association, there is not a meta class named
Association. The setting the pattern cardinality to "-1" is true if
there is a Association entity in the meta class.<br>
