Description Miles Parker CLA 2010-05-04 16:00:30 EDT
We need to come up with a name for the Query Action that isn't so overloaded. It has to capture both the sense of atomic operation plus collaboration with other terms, but also different Query whatsits being combined in different ways to control flow. Consider:

"Term"
"Criteria"
"Condition" (also overloaded with programming term)
...?


Also, should there be some attempt to combine queries and evaluations? There would need to be additional meta-model support. The one advantage would be that it would be easy to use them in both contexts, but on the other hand you can do that anyway for Queries. Perhaps allow the conversion of Evaluations to Queries?
