[Modeling] Modeling an Agent Class- register your opinion

[James Odell]

No, I am not saying that.  I was just responding to your statement that " in
traditional OO, classes are not dynamic classifications.  In this TC, we
have been address the possibilities of extending UML -- not "traditional
OO."
And further to your question: I regard dynamic and multiple classification
as necessary conditions for agent-based roles, but not sufficient ones.
