Re: [regrep] [TN Proposal] Mapping Business Information Models toebXML RegistryInformation Model (Was: [regrep] UN/CEFACT-ICG adopts freebXMLRegistry)

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@adobe.com>]

I would propose that this approach is flawed since CCTS is a special 
case.  If you read the entire CCTS set of documents AND UMM, you will 
clearly see a need for more than a simple mapping and storage.  This is 
documented in my requirements in CC-Review.  CC's and BIE's need to 
serialize the information and carry it to persistent stores outside the 
registry. That places a requirement of duplication of certain RIM 
instance data in the CC instance, so it can be used without a registry 
system present in the way that UMM dictates Business information 
entities be used.
