I do not understand the meaning of the following:
3) The data model MUST be able to express semantics of instances.
I am not sure why this is a MUST:
2) The model MUST be object oriented.
This allows it to extensible in the form of templating and sub-classing.
In particular, if 'object oriented' means classes and sub-classes, what
does this have to do with templating? Perhaps this is backwards and the
requirement really is:
2a) The model MUST be extensible.
2b) The model MUST allow templating.
But even then I am not even sure what 'templating' means.

PS: I may regret having sent this message. I believe requirement
discussions like this are not helpful in making a decision since
this just leads to an endless debate about the requirements.
