Subject: RE: RE: [ubl-dev] Datatype Methodology RE: [ubl-dev] SBSandRestricted Data Types
Hi Joe Just to request that we try to refer to W3C Schema built-in types and CCTS's qualified and unqualified datatypes as 'datatypes' but call other things like cac:PartyNameType just 'types'. For example there is a complex type called cac:PartyNameType and a complex type called cbc:NameType but there is also a CCTS 'datatype' called udt:NameType and that is based on a W3C XML Schema 'datatype' called xsd:string. It does get confusing but all along in this thread I've been only refering to the udt:NameType and qdt:NameType and xsd:string as datatypes. So redefine is for any type or datatype but we'd be constrained in UBL by CCTS to just use it for types which aren't 'datatypes' and use the reuse in a qualified datatypes schema module (qdt) for 'datatypes'. The same would go for substitution groups.
