Subject: Core Components Riddle

Now that our V3.0
specs are in OASIS public review, I have a general question on Core Components
please:
The basic question
is: What precise value do Core Components bring for data
exchanges?
More
details:
Scenario #1:
- Suppose 2 trading
partners are exchanging data.
- Also suppose that
none of the Core Components that are used in the exchange are part of the TBG17
Core Component Library (this will be the variable for the next scenario).
- The sending
trading partner decides to indicate in their XML document the various Core
Component entities (CC's, BIEs, etc.) using a content model (set of
elements/attributes) near each entity (where does not matter - but let's assume
just below) that indicates what type of entity it is.
- The receiving
trading partner processes the XML document, but does not process the entity
information because all it "cares" about is the actual data, not the data model.
What value
does using Core Components bring here?
Scenario #2:
- Same as
above, except that all
of
the Core Components that are used in the exchange are part of the TBG17 Core
Component Library (and stored in the UN/CEFACT Core Component registry - assume
it is in production), and are indicated as such using their registry
identifiers.
- The receiving
trading partner processes the XML document, but should they "care" about
the entity information this time? What value does using Core
Components bring here? Is it different than the value in Scenario
#1?
A third question:
Absent any data exchanges, what would motivate someone to "Core
Component-enable" all of their data? (for example, creating a relational
representation of the CCTS Core Component entity metadata, and populating the
tables/fields with the metadata values + the original data).
Thanks,
Joe
