RE: [ubl] Question from TBG17

[<MCRAWFORD@lmi.org>]

Marion,

After internal consultations with some of my other CCTS implementers,
LMI thinks it depends on how you are conceptualizing Regions.  If you
are thinking of a region of the world that crosses borders (e.g.
Sahara), then I think "Location. Details" is the proper object class.

However, when the concept would strictly apply within a country, we
think of Regions (e.g. US Northeast, EPA Region 4) and Districts (e.g.
3rd congressional district) as concepts for "CountrySubDivision.
Details".  For example, for SBA we have proposed BBIEs of:
 "Mine_ CountrySubDivision. Municipal_ Name. Text" and  "Mine_
CountrySubDivision. District_ Name. Text"
Though the latter was dropped when the state decided they were not going
to capture it for the particular report.

As for Timezone, we agree that  "Location. Details" is the proper object
class.

Subject: [ubl] Question from TBG17

1.  I am attending TBG17 this week and have come across questions
regarding Address. Region. Text, Address. District. Text and Address.
Timezone Offset. Text I haven't succussfully defended the business
requirement to have those a part of an address object (they might fit in
a Location Object).  Can someone help me out.

2. Should this be the place for me to ask these questions this week?
