[ubl-lcsc] Was.. Role Modeling in UBL and joined with Library ContentOrderHeader including 'types'

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

Following from Bill Burcham's position paper and the requirement for 
Library Content to describe the 'types' for its associations, I have 
updated the OrderHeader sample our team worked on last week to reflect 
what i think is the merging of these two ideas.

It appears that what i had assumed was...

    UML objects = BIE entities= XML elements and XML types = roles of 
BIE entities,

should, in fact, be

    UML objects = BIE entities = XML types and XML elements = roles of 
BIE entities.  

What this means is that the 'roles' (as noted in the "Contains UBL BIEs" 
column of our spreadsheet) define the XML element and hence their tagnames.

I hope the following sample of the Library Content BIE spreadsheet and 
its corresponding UML Class Diagram make this concept a bit clearer.

I encourage everyone to review this material (and comment as necessary) 
as soon as possible, so we can apply these concepts to the Library 
content we are currently developing.
