Anything named after an ancient god must be bloated. Do you know about 
ArgoUML? It's a free software released with a BSD license (which Poseidon is 
based on) and it's much smaller. I'm not yet familiar with UML, but for my 
next job I'll have to be very  "buzzword compliant", and I feel that UML and 
XML would help. :-)  I tried to load the PDDatabase.xmi file (unzipped from 
PDDatabase.zuml) into ArgoUML 0.16.1, but nothing happens. I better read the 
manual then...

You did a good job at reducing the schema. Here's a few quick comments:

- There should be two fields for the license: a multi-selection box of common 
free licences (for multiple-licensing), plus a text area for the description 
of other licenses and/or comments about the licensing scheme. Of course the 
default selection would be GPL, with a Gnu ascii art in the text area... ;-)

- The authors, persons (contributors?) views could have references to 
corresponding Plone users.

-  Attachments or files and references to files on the portal.
This PDDB section could act as a repository for the download section, with 
comments and annotations.
