ISSUE-16

Multiple patterns for a single data structure

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Basic
Raised by:
Paul Downey
Opened on:
2006-01-30
Description:
It seems apparent that we will have structures identified in our roadmap which
may be exhibited in Schema using more than one pattern. 

Should we treat all such patterns equally, or should we recommend some patterns
as being preferred over the rest?

Should we even cite one pattern as being the canonical pattern for a given data
structure?
