Re: [ubl-dev] Location ABIE/BBIE

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

Looks like no-one was game enough to reply earlier so I will give my 
assessment.

We do not plan on creating synonyms as we did with 'Location'.  It was 
an oversight and failure of our controlled vocabulary.  As you say, 
technically not a problem but conceptually it is not a good idea.  From 
memory, when the idea of creating the Location ABIE came up we forgot we 
had a Storage. Location BBIE.  We did notice this at the last minute but 
felt it not significant enough to delay roll out of the specification.  
It isnt something we can change in a 2.1 release because it would break 
backward compatibility. So we are stuck with this but it will stay as a 
reminder to us not to do it again.

Is this something which should be corrected in a next release (2.0.1 or 2.1) or is it just the first occurrence of something which will become general when UBL library grows?
