Results - Model Management

See also Model management section of the meeting presentation

1. All agree strongly that PowerDesigner needs to be object based rather than model or project based. We want to capture and store an object once with symbolic references from any number of model occurences.
   
2. Maintain an unlimited history of root object versions, with recursive aggregation into user defined meta version objects. Thus a user could define a version as an arbitrary collection of object states in any number of models.
   
3. Provide object level security in a manner similar to version control above.
   
4. An object change method to roll version object collections forward or back needs to be explored.
