Subject: Issue #4: 11179 Data Element Terms
Team, Here is the next issue from the 8/21 Registry TC review. It relates to ISO/IEC 11179 data element naming concepts. ISSUE: Suppose we have the following ACC: Employee | Telephone | Number where: Employee = Object Class Telephone = Property Term Number = Representation Tem We can create an ABIE from this, making it "US"-specific - the telephone number will be a "US" format. So we would have: US = Object Class Qualifier Employee = Object Class US = Property Term Qualifier Telephone = Property Term Number = Representation Tem Where the ABIE name is: US | Employee | US | Telephone | Number We believe it is important to include "US" as the Property Term Qualifier rather than ommitting it, so it is clear *which* term (in this case the Property Term "Telephone") has context applied. The Object Class should always have a Qualifier applied to it in this case, so the context is clear at the top level. BUT CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: What if it is US employee who is currently working in Canada? We could have: US | Employee | CA | Telephone | Number So the "US" Object Class Qualifier would be correct (i.e. instead of "CA"), because it qualifies the term "Employee", and the employee is a "US" employee. QUESTION: Do you concur with all of the above? Suppose we had started with a modified version of the earlier ACC: Employee | Home | Telephone | Number where: Employee = Object Class Home = Property Term Qualifier Telephone = Property Term Number = Representation Tem Now suppose we create an ABIE from this, making it "US"-specific - the telephone number will be a "US" format. So we should have multiple Property Term Qualifiers, as shown below: US = Object Class Qualifier Employee = Object Class US = Property Term Qualifier Home = Property Term Qualifier Telephone = Property Term Number = Representation Tem QUESTION: What should the order be for the 2 Property Term Qualifiers? That is, should the ABIE name be: US | Employee | US | Home | Telephone | Number or: US | Employee | Home | US | Telephone | Number Joe
