 <p/>The model includes the following fundamental types:

   <li>An instance of an <strong>Entity</strong> is a representation of a <em>characterized thing</em>, as defined informally above.</li> The specific nature of an entity is specified by means of a set of <strong>characterizing attributes</strong>. The

-<div class='note'>Should this dependency of attributes be made explicit as argument of the derivation expression? By making it explicit, we would allow someone to verify the validity of the derivation expression.<br/>
-Khalid's note: I was thinking of adding derivation-qualifier to wasDerivedFrom(e2,e1), 
-but instead of being a set of attribute-value, it can be specified by a 
-set of pair s of the form <b,B>, where b is a characterizing attribute

-to compute the value of b.<br/>Paolo: while keeping the mapping around may be a good idea, syntactically this seems to break the regular structure of attribute-value pairs. Maybe this requires one to think of a more general map data structure?
