7.11 Standard Technology Neutral Tags

   This sub clause defines the standard Tags that apply to all meta-models, irrespective of the technology mappings used. Other Tags may be attached to the elements of a meta-model, but the meaning of these Tags is not specified here. Tags relevant to the IDL mapping are defined in 9.6, “Standard Tags for the IDL Mapping,? on page 194.

    Table 7.5 shows the conventions used to describe the standard Tags and their properties.
