Re: [ubl-lcsc] Re: UBL 1.0 schemas - using GUID

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

It has just occurred to me that the secondary representation term we have
adopted for GUID should officially be called "Globally Unique Identifier"
[ note the spaces between the name components].  We had "GloballyUniqueID"
which i suggested we change to "GloballyUniqueIdentifier" to make it not
a partial acronym.  However,  to follow CCTS rules the embedded spaces are
necessary.  It is similar to "Date Time".  When it gets built into the CoreComponents.xsd
the spaces are removed.

So to be correct, 

a. the spreadsheet models need to say "Globally Unique Identifier" as representation
terms (and property terms in most cases as well).  This means stephen needs
to edit the models and the formula (again!) to put in the spaces.

b. the CoreComponentType.xsd should say:
    <xsd:element name="GloballyUniqueIdentifier" type="cct:GloballyUniqueIdentifierType"/>
and
    <xsd:simpleType name="GloballyUniqueIdentifierContentType">
- Chee-Kai needs to change his script to map these correctly.

sorry to be picking nits - but i think this fixes everything.
