Subject: ASCCs/ASBIEs Revisited
Team, We've had some open issues regarding the role and (perhaps) necessity of Association Core Components (ASCCs) and Association Business Information Entities (ASBIEs), as defined in the CCTS spec. I've delved further into the CCTS spec and I believe I now understand the role of these 2 entities, and the necessity for their inclusion. I'd like to ensure that before asking questions of the CCTS team, we've completely exhausted our analysis of these issues (in a permissible amount of time). Attached please a document that contains notes on ASCCs/ASBIEs that I have extracted from the CCTS spec, along with "Notes for CC Review Team" regarding our treatment of these entities. Please review and confirm your understanding, or present any questions you have. See "BOTTOM LINE" at end for more details. Thanks, Joe BOTTOM LINE: It appears that the transition from ACC to ABIE occurs when business context is added, and that business context is one of the 8 predefined context categories (Business Process, Product Classification, etc.). It appears that the transition from ACC to ASCC occurs when business context is added, but that business context is NOT one of the 8 predefined context categories. The same holds true for the transition from ABIE to ASBIE - except that an ASBIE already incorporates one of the 8 predefined context categories (by virtue of the fact that we are starting with an ABIE). I think we can represent ASCCs (created from ACCs) and ASBIEs (created from ABIEs) with registry associations, while the transition from ACCs to ABIEs can be represented by classifications (per the 8 context categories). The path from ACC to ASBIE will therefore use both associations and classifications - the order of which depends on whether the path was: ACC --> ABIE (classification) --> ASBIE (association) OR ACC --> ASCC (association) --> ASBIE (classification)
