-<p>The Meta Model is an object model describing a type of Avalon component.
-The meta model encompasses all information about a component that is not
-specified by its work interface and/or lifecycle interfaces.
-Specifically, the Meta Model allows for specification of
-lifecycle-related constraints/requirments, ie Context, Configuration,
-Parameter, and Dependency constraints/requirments.
-</p>
-<p>
-The Meta Model API is a set of well-known interfaces and classes that
-is used to provide a runtime representation of the meta model.
-</p>
-<p>
-The Meta Model DTDs are a set of well-known XML DTDs that provide a
-mapping of the Meta Model API in XML.
-</p>
-<p>
-The Meta Model XML API provides an implementation of the Meta Model API
-that takes XML documents following the Meta Model DTDs as source.
