Subject: RE: [plcs-dex] identification of organition
Sounds like a case for standard reference data... and I mean data. Just a thought.. Perhaps a few of these organization id-assigning organizations predefined in the RDL as instances could help solve this problem. For example, I think most organizations have a DUNS code don't they?

This standard is at the heart of how PLib makes unique reference to things. The standard defines an organization identification to consist of an ICD plus an Identification of an organization. The International Code Designator (ICD) is the data element used to uniquely identify an organization identification scheme. > > This would seem to raise the following points: > > > (1) a standard (i.e. a document) lies at the heart of this identification scheme; > > > (2) certain organisations would appear to be "universal" (e.g. ISO?). > > > We probably can not assume (1) to be the case in all situations but do we need to offer alternatives of either organisation or identification scheme as being the context for identification? Point (2) suggests reference data to me but I am not sure where we have got to with using reference data for individuals as opposed to types. We probably can not be sure that we will be able trace back to pre-determined universal organisations in all situations (ISO 6523 is by no means a well-known document although I believe some of the other major identification schemes for organisations map back to this). I think a given exchange or sharing context leads to a set of organisations that are "universal" to that context. > > Not much clarification here but perhaps a strand or two to follow further ... > > > Cheers, > Tim. > > > ________________________________ > > > From: Rob Bodington [mailto:rob.bodington@eurostep..com] > Sent: 05 May 2005 17:25 > To: plcs-dex@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: [plcs-dex] identification of organition > > > > > Hi > > > I have started to review some of the core capabilities and have a question about assigning an organization. > > > > > > We have proposed that an organization is identified by identification assignment - no problem. > > > We have also agreed that an identification_assignment must be assigned in the context of an organization that owns the identifier. > > Fine.
