[ciq] Discussion: Levels of addresses

[David RR Webber - XMLGlobal <Gnosis_@compuserve.com>]

Ram,

Just some clarifications - yes indeed - the vision here is that
CIQ provides the depth to Level 4 - but provides the
subset at the levels 0 - 3 - driven by alignment with the
legacy formats that are aimed at these other levels.

The goal is to reduce the business overhead (cost) in
adopting CIQ at Levels 0 thru 3, - since adoption of
standards is driven by how well the adoption of them
matches the business needs.

Thanks, DW.

I had a look at David's PPT material on different addressing levels.
It does make sense to have this different levels. Though in one picture
it is shown that CIQ falls into level 4, the case is that CIQ covers level
0-3
also as it provides the flexibility to define addresses
at an abstract or detailed level (though it is not explicit). This is where
we can make CIQ explicit to show different levels which can make the life
of the users easy in many ways.
