term\_attribute\_names is listed in the AOM document  
(pg 51) as type List\<string\> but surely this should be  
of type List\<ARCHETYPE\_TERM\>?

The XML schema have used the same definition  
so they need to be fixed as well.

no, it is correct as is - the attribute term\_attribute\_names is just  
that - a list of names (strings).

then it must be term\_codes and constraint\_codes that are  
a list of ARCHETYPE\_TERM (currently they are a list of  
string as well).  
Surely something in the AOM has to refer/store  
the ARCHETYPE\_TERM type?

yes, that is correct. Actually, the ARCHETYPE\_ONTOLOGY class should be  
more fully defined than it is now in the AOM document.
