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\.
