["Monica J. Martin" <monica.martin@sun.com>]

Earlier in the process of developing the CCSD draft primer, a similar 
question was raised.  Fred vanBlommestein created a short position paper 
of options to consider which I have attached with his agreement.  Please 
feel free to direct any questions, as Fred had detailed discussions on 
this subject during previous UN/CEFACT meetings.

Thanks to Fred for his assistance (Fred, I believe this is the paper, 
but I really had to search to find it from back in December 2002).

I think your paper addressed the additional layer of aggregation to 
handle the possibility of different attributes for country did it not, Fred?

Should I forward it or would you like to answer?

I have from the beginning wondered why we did that. There seems to be no
meaning in having the ABIE. On the other hand there is meaning in having a
different representation of Country in terms of either text or code but
rarely them both at the same time!

I am not sure though that the OAGIS solution agrees with CCTS - suggest we
investigate this further before making the final decision.

To facilitate debate and consensus on the reviewed items, I am posting 
relevant issues as discussion points.  The intention is that after a one 
week period the team shall resolve these issues.  For example, this 
issue will be resolved at the call on Friday July 11th.

Item 4.

We created the ABIE Country and its CountryIdentificationCode to 
facilitatet re-use in several structures.  This meant that Country as an 
aggregate has only one property, IdentificationCode. 

OAGIS has created a reusable Country Code data type and implemented a 
Country data element of type=Country Code.  This seems to be a much 
cleaner approach and accomplishes exactly the same thing.

Does anyone object to this approach?  It may also have implications for 
other 'one-property' ABIEs.
