CCTS Spec RIM Mappings (7.1.3-7.1.7)

["Chiusano Joseph" <chiusano_joseph@bah.com>]

Team,

Here is the next set of requirements that I'd like to tackle this week.
It covers requirements [S8]-[S18] inclusive. Below I list each
requirement (copy/pasted from the CCTS spec), and - in some cases - a
note below marked with <JMC>. 

The biggest question I have is the meaning of a "Core Component
Property" vs. a "Core Component". We are also questioning the need to
stored Association Core Components (ASCC's), so some requirements cannot
be handled until that issue is cleared with the CCTS team (they are
marked accordingly).

Please feel free to offer comments/questions below each requirement,
regarding how we could map the requirement to RIM.

Thanks,
Joe

7.1.3 Stored Core Component Properties

[S8]
Stored Core Component Properties shall be stored as part of the stored
Aggregate Core Component to which they belong, i.e. they shall never
exist independently of their owning Aggregate Core Component.

<JMC>
I think we need a clarification on the term "Core Component Property".
Can anyone please tell me the difference between a "Core Component" and
a "Core Component Property"?
</JMC>

[S9]
Stored Core Component Properties shall be defined as one of the two
recognized types.Basic Core Component Property or Association Core
Component Property.

<JMC>
We are questioning the need to store Association Core Components
(ASCC's), so this requirement is pending clarification from the CCTS
team.
</JMC>

[S10]
Stored Core Component Properties shall include the following Attributes:
- Property Term
- Cardinality
