Hi Paul,


Th ebXML Registry CC Review SC 
<http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/regrep/regrep-cc-review> 
within ebXML Registry in cooperation with the CCTS team is defining a 
binding from CCTS specification to ebXML Registry to provide a CC 
relaization based upon ebXML Registry Information Model (ebRIM).

UBL code lists build upon the CCTS codes. Recently the UBL TC agreed to 
consider using the OASIS ebXML Registry Information Model (ebRIM) 
ClassificationScheme format as a format for UBL code lists representation.

Some of the reasons why the ebRIM ClassificationScheme format is useful are:

-It is extensible and can handle current and future requirements for 
mapping UBL code lists

-It Enables hierarchical code lists (as in UN/eDocs LoCode, Argentinian 
currency use cases)

-It provides one common XML schema may be used to represent any code lists

-It makes it easier to manage UBL code lists in an ebXML Registry 
enabling automatic content specific cataloging and content specific 
semantic validation.

While it will take some time for the dust to settle, a desirable outcome 
could well be that CCTS uses ebRIM to define its serialization format, 
UBL uses Core Components BIEs and therefor indirectly uses ebRIM format 
as the picture below shows:

|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|               UBL Business Documents                   |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|                     Core Component BIE                     |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| ebXML Registry Information Model (ebRIM) |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
