Subject: Re: [ubl-ndrsc] UBL: question on CCT language component


Hi,

Sorry, I've been unable to get connectivity since the f2f until now, and 
also came down with a cold after the f2f, and am also on vacation, so 
I'm just going to quickly try to respond to what's been put out here in 
order and then I'll catch any subsequent responses on Sunday when I 
return home.

To respond to your this mail, Mark:

Then why is it not prefaced by the type name ( 
Indicator.Language.Identifier and Indicator.Language.Locale.Identifier) 
as for all the other types the content and supplementary components are 
prefixed by the type name?  Also, if what you say is the case, then we 
are misusing the language sc, since we use it in two occasions in the 
cct xsd, both for token/text types (eg. code/name), not indicator types. 
 Also, it makes the most sense to me to apply language to a text/string 
or derivation thereof type, not to an indicator.  And, according to xsd, 
language is a restriction on token (higher up than ID).

This is a bit more in line with you follow up message saying it's of 
type text, but it still doens't really answer my question.  It seems 
that this is such a flat table, but there is some implied structure that 
is not evident to me.  It would be best to see this in a tree or 
indented table.  I still don't quite get what language is supposed to be 
associated with, but we only have in in the cct xsd in an inconsistent 
way, as far as I can tell.
