UN/CEFACT 3055, meaning of 86-92

["Bryan Rasmussen" <BRS@itst.dk>]

Hi,

In UN/CEFACT's 3055 -  3055 -  Code list responsible agency code
UN/CEFACT Revision 1999B Code List,  there are the following values given as
possible assignments:

86 Assigned by party originating the message 
 Codes assigned by the party originating the message. 
87 Assigned by carrier 
 Codes assigned by the carrier. 
88 Assigned by owner of operation 
 Assigned by owner of operation (e.g. used in construction). 
89 Assigned by distributor 
 Self explanatory. 
90 Assigned by manufacturer 
 Self explanatory. 
91 Assigned by seller or seller's agent 
 Self explanatory. 
92 Assigned by buyer or buyer's agent 
 Self explanatory.

what do these mean in the context of 
"listAgencyID - Identifies the agency that manages a code list. The default
agencies used are those from DE 3055 but roles defined in DE 3055 cannot be
used. 
listAgencyName - The name of the agency that maintains the code list. Note:
listAgencyName should be not used, because all code lists should be
recognized in a standardized global environment. 
listAgencySchemeID - Identifies the ID schema that represents the context for
identifying the agency. Note: This attribute is necessary, if the value in
listAgencyID is not based on UN/CEFACT data element 3055. "

If I send an Invoice and mark all my listAgencyID as being 86, what does this
mean?

What does Carrier mean in the context? I suppose it is the carrier of a real
good. In which case if one is selling a service would 87 be allowed? Or is
carrier in this context in reference to message carrier?
