MOF24 — Annex A refers to non-existing CMOF file

Annex A (which is normative), refers to the availability of the XMI for CMOF in the OMG document ptc/04-10-17. However, this document is not available at the OMG web site (at least not as a publicly available, searchable document). The annex being normative and the spec being publicly available, it would follow that a referenced ptc document would be publicly available. Without an available normative XMI for CMOF, it is not possible to produce a conforming implementation of it. I tried the MOF2.cmof file in the non-normative zip file (document 03-04-08). However, this file is not usable, as it has several errors and missing information.

The lack of this document was caused by structural problems in the UML 2.0 metamodel on which MOF 2.0 was based – which meant that UML 2.0 itself had no XMI file.
The normative XMI file will be produced for this revision of MOF and referenced from Annex A.
