[ubl-lcsc] Status of BIE library spreadsheet

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

Please find attached the latest version of the current BIE library.

This builds on the model we worked on during the face to face and 
includes the new columns "Re-usable Types" and "Cardinality" to replace 
to "Contains BIEs" column.

The initial analysis has been completed for the entire OrderHeader and 
OrderSummary structures.  On the spreadsheet you will find one worksheet 
called Order which contains the top level structure for Order.  Beneath 
the redline are the 'common' items identified in previous analysis (the 
ones which have been used in the Order are coloured yellow).  We have 
tried to incorpate all the previous analysis, but if you are aware of 
ommissions, let me know.

Another worksheet called "Re-used Types" contains most of the basic BIE 
definitions together with their aggregate Types.  As we discussed, all 
aggregates are instances of re-usable Types.  I have added some lines to 
show the relationships of the first few types.

So, to read  the model follow the 'Order' sheet down and then when you 
find a re-usable type find that in the 're-usable types' sheet. 
 Remember that re-usable types may also contain more re-usable types. 
 So it is somewhat recursive as you travel down the various branches of 
the Order tree.  obviously, the types of the basic BIEs will relate to 
the Core Components Type.

On Tuesday morning's call, i would like to walk through some of these 
examples.  It would be useful if you get chance before the call,  to 
familiarize yourself with this model.  

The intention is that following htis meeting, the 'black jacket' team 
members will be asked to review the OrderHeader and OrderSummary 
structures and comment before our thursday call.  We can then update the 
model and present it to full meeting the following Tuesday.
