So where did you find that?  And why do you think it differs materially from
Jim's paper (which is also valuable reading)?  I've never seen it, and can't
find it anywhere.  The only thing Google finds even vaguely like it is this
reference in Jim's "Introduction to the Zope Object Database" paper:

    Fulton99, Fulton, James L., 1999, Zope Object Database Version 3
    UML model, http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Models/ZODB

That URL is dead, but

    http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Developer/Models/ZODB

still lives (although is never updated -- not even sure anyone here has the
UML tools that created it anymore).

Google does find a reference to

    http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Reference/zodb3.pdf

in 1999, but none more recent than that.  The URL no longer resolves.  The
only results zope.org finds for a search on zodb3.pdf now resolve to links
to Jim's paper on python.org.

The only other references to things with "zodb3.pdf" in the name Google
finds that aren't obviously references to Jim's paper noted above are about
a dozen messages from you on various mailing lists suggesting that the
person you're replying to search for zodb3.pdf.  If anyone took that advice
in recent years, I'm sure they ended up finding Jim's paper.

Do you have a copy of the zodb3.pdf you have in mind?  If so, I'd love to
see it.  If it differs materially from Jim's paper, I could make it
available from zope.org again too.
