This type implements a composition relation between the parent and child ObjectTypes. Its instances are ONLY used to set the composition field on an ObjectType. It is a rule that an object type can only be the target of a single composition definition. A subclass can be assigned a target to a composition if a baseclass is already assigned such a target, but only if the composition is explicitly 'subsetted'. A composition is assumed to be a set, i.e. a given object (as identified by its identifier!) cannot occur multiple times in the composition. The composition may be ordered, which implies that the order in which objects have been added to the parent is to be preserved. As clients can always do an explicit sort on any of the child objects' attributes, it seems not necessary to add functionality for declaring a composition is sorted on one or more attributes. Through the uniqueInCollection constraint that can be assigned to attributes, a composition can impose the constraint that different objects in the composition must have distinct values of the attribute to which that constraint is assigned. It would be better probably to add the capability to assign such constraints to this composition type. This would also give more flexibility in for example creating explicit (named) keys, or defining multi-attribute uniqueness constraints.
