i think this is nearer, but will this only work if we have already a type defined for the BBIE property?

what about Qualified BBIEs like "PostalZone" where "Postal" is the property qualifier. Will rules [CTD3] and [CTD4] ensure we have a "Zone" xsd:complexType even though it is never used in that form.? Do we need something like...

 "[XXX] Every ccts:BasicBusinessInformationEntityProperty MUST be defined in the CBC."

and, do we still need a defintion of BBIE property that explains it 's name? such as...

 "[XXX] The UBL xsd:complexType name of a ccts:BasicBusinessInformationEntityProperty MUST be the ccts:DictionaryEntryName property term and representation term of the ccts:BasicBusinessInformationEntity with the separators removed and with the "Type" suffix appended after the representation term."

A rule currently exists in the NDR:

    "[CTN2] A UBL xsd:complexType name based on a ccts:BasicBusinessInformationEntityProperty MUST be the ccts:DictionaryEntryName shared property term and qualifiers and representation term of the shared ccts:BasicBusinessInformationEntity, with the separators removed and with the "Type" suffix appended after the representation term."

However, I believe this is what resulted in 'AdditionalStreetName' being declared.

I propose changing [CTN2] by removing the instruction to include qualifiers, then create a new rule that says something like:

    [xxx] Qualified BBIE Properties must have elements declared at the point they are used (in CAC and/or Document Schema). These elements will be of type of the related unqualified BBIE Property.

    <xsd:element name="AdditionalStreetName" type="cbc:StreetNameType"/>


PLEASE COMMENT: Tim, Mark, NDR - Will this work?


NOTE: The CBC schema already contains element declarations that are named properly. The major issue was that they did not have types defined for them. David *can* just use the same naming rule he used to name the element, and append 'Type' to it. He will then only have to check for the Qualified BBIE Properties and process them as stated above.
