One way of getting what you need is to load the meta-model application system that is
supplied with the product. It is a Des2K load file located at

        ORACLE_HOME\des2_60\model\mod_1_2.dat ( I'm still on 1.2, yours might be 1_3.

In the Object Navigator, create a New application system ( File - New ), then
load in the model ( File - Load ). It loads in all of the repository views and their
(virtual) foreign keys. You can search the repository, or draw your own diagrams
from there.

BTW the View/Element Definitions in the On-Line Help is also VERY useful, as it gives
limited definitions, and valid values for the properties.

Also, the part numbers on the printed diagrams ( which I find invaluable ) are

	Business Planning Model 	A32523-1
	Business Requirements Model	A32523-1
	Database Design Model		A32525-1
	Database Administrator Model	A32524-1
	Module Design Model		A32526-1

I don't know whether or not you can order these.
