Re: [ubl] CLSC: Draft paper on code list data models: draft-coates-codeListDataModels-0p1

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

excellent input tony, thanks.

we must avoid building the NDRs for code lists before we have the 
semantics right.  Currently we have the Code List Catalog - but tony 
suggests a bigger picture is needed for this, and i agree.  we should be 
following the LC idea of a syntax independent conceptual data model and 
then a set of rules for XML expression in UBL schemas.  The CLSC are 
tasksed with the syntax issues of the latter whereas LCSC should be 
investing time in the former.  As i said on the LC call, the semantics 
of codes should remain an LC task - this is the home of the domain 
experts who know what these semantics are (at least in theory  ;-) ).

Tony, do you see the code list catalog as the basis for this model or 
would you propose something else?
