mm1: Properties are like attributes on a object, which can be restricted 
by Data Types. For example, properties on Person could be Person ID, 
First Name, etc.
 From draft CCSD primer on data types: /Note: This is only a draft in 
work primer so take that into consideration when reviewing my comments./

    A Data Type defines the set of valid values that can be used for a
    particular Property of a BBIE or BCC.  It is defined by specifying
    restrictions on the CCT from which the Data Type is derived.  Where
    necessary, a Data Type restricts the set of valid values allowed by
    the CCT on which it is based, by imposing restrictions on the
    Content Component and/or Supplementary Component.

mm1: If you look at the reference above, this can be taken a bit further 
- a BCC is part of an ACC.

     From CCSD Primer:
    ·        Basic Core Components (BCC), that represent simple
    properties of Object Classes;

mm1: I've had questions re: this for quite some time, because I think 
those associations in and of themselves imply some type of context.
For example, will a Party be associated with an Address or a Location 
that MAY map to an address?  Does that association imply context - that
thought keeps lingering in my mind.

mm1: I believe this implies that an BCC will always be a part of an ACC.

     From CCSD Draft Primer: Each Basic Core Component is of a Core
    Component Type.
