Folks,
   Here's the mapping table with the comments expanded.  The second to 
rightmost column will still need to be removed.    (01)

Mapping the Core Component Types to the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology

Reference: ebXML Core Component Technical Specification v2.01 dated 2003-11-15

Version 0.5 dated 2005-01-19 -- Added quality assessment rankings(A: No Issues; B: Minor Issues; C: Major Issues)

Ref#	[CCT/SC]	CCT Name	Definition	Primitive data-type	Remarks	SUMO Mapping (AdamPease-2004.06.20)	Comments (PeterYim - 2004.06.16~20)	Quality Asessment - Entered 2005.01.19
01-000	CCT	Amount. Type	A number of monetary units specified in a currency where the unit of currency is explicit or implied.			this would be a CurrencyMeasure expressed using MeasureFn in the second argument being a RealNumber with the first argument being an instance UnitOfMeasure and subclass of CurrencyMeasure. The resulting CurrencyMeasure can be related to a thing with the relation monetaryValue		C - Too many concepts are folded in to this one term.
02-000	CCT	Binary Object. Type	A set of finite-length sequences of binary octets. Shall also be used for Data Types representing graphics (i.e., diagram, graph, mathematical curves or similar representations), pictures (i.e. visual representation of a person, object, or scene), sound, video, etc.			ContentBearingObject	guess this would be something like an electronic message, electronic file, electronic document, digital data stream or digital data in general	A
03-000	CCT	Code. Type	A character string (letters, figures or symbols) that for brevity and/or language independence may be used to represent or replace a definitive value or text of an Attribute together with relevant supplementary information. Should not be used if the character string identifies an instance of an Object Class or an object in the real world, in which case the Identifier. Type should be used.			SymbolicString, however, if the reason is just brevity, than it's an implementation detail, and the nformation should be represented. It would be up to an application to condense that information using a thesaurus or other approach, if necessary.		B - We have some confusion about types - Is it a pointer or an abbreviation - Is it an implementation detail or does the item have inherent semantics - How is a code different from an identifier?
04-000	CCT	Date Time. Type	A particular point in the progression of time together with relevant supplementary information. Can be used for a date and/or time.			use time		B - Clear mapping, but formalization doesn't resolve all problems (SUMO has more detail)
05-000	CCT	Identifier. Type	A character string to identify and distinguish uniquely, one instance of an object in an identification scheme from all other objects in the same scheme together with relevant supplementary information.			uniqueIdentifier		C - If this is meant to be a universally-unique identifier (UUID) then rate an "A"
06-000	CCT	Indicator. Type	A list of two mutually exclusive Boolean values that express the only possible states of a Property.			true	see comment under Indicator. Content	A
07-000	CCT	Measure. Type	A numeric value determined by measuring an object along with the specified unit of measure.			this would be an _expression_ using MeasureFn, if the value is not directly time dependent, such as Watt (Joule per second). If not a time-dependent quantity, the MeasureFn would have in the second argument being a RealNumber with the first argument being an instance UnitOfMeasure. The resulting ConstantQuantity can be related to a thing with the relation measure, which can also serve to relate a ConstantQuantity to a thing.		C - Too many concepts are folded in to this one term.
08-000	CCT	Numeric. Type	Numeric information that is assigned or is determined by calculation, counting, or sequencing. It does not require a unit of quantity or unit of measure. May or may not be decimal			Number		B
09-000	CCT	Quantity. Type	A counted number of non-monetary units possibly including fractions.			this would be an _expression_ using MeasureFn, if the value is not directly time dependent, such as Watt (Joule per second). If not a time-dependent quantity, the MeasureFn would have in the second argument being a RealNumber with the first argument being an instance UnitOfMeasure. The resulting ConstantQuantity can be related to a thing with the relation measure, which can also serve to relate a FunctionQuantity to a thing.		C - Too many concepts are folded in to this one term.
10-000	CCT	Text. Type	A character string (i.e. a finite set of characters) generally in the form of words of a language. Shall also be used for names (i.e. word or phrase that constitutes the distinctive designation of a person, place, thing or concept).			a Text		B+ - Too much ambiguity in definition
01-001	SC	Amount. Content	A number of monetary units specified in a currency where the unit of currency is explicit or implied	decimal		this would be a RealNumber part of an _expression_ using MeasureFn in the second argument being a RealNumber with the first argument being an instance UnitOfMeasure and subclass of CurrencyMeasure. The resulting CurrencyMeasure can be related to a thing with the relation monetaryValue		B - Too many concepts are folded in to this one term.
01-002	SC	Amount Currency. Code List Version. Identifier	The Version of the UN/ECE Rec.9 code list.	string		uniqueIdentifier		B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
01-003	SC	Amount Currency. Identifier	The currency of the amount	string	Reference UN/ECE Rec. 9, using 3-letter alphabetic codes. The UN/ECE Rec. 9 is also published as ISO 4217, but is available in electronic form and free of charge.	This would be a SymbolicString that is related to a subclass of CurrencyMeasure by the relation uniqueIdentifier.		B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
02-001	SC	Binary Object. Content	A set of finite-length sequences of binary octets.	binary		ComputerData		A
02-002	SC	Binary Object. Format. Text	The format of the binary content.	string		ComputerData		B - How is this different than text type?
02-003	SC	Binary Object. Mime. Code	The mime type of the binary object.	string	Reference IETF RFC 2045, 2046, 2047	Relate a MimeEncodingScheme to ComputerData with mimeType		B - Too many concepts are folded in to this one term.
02-004	SC	Binary Object. Character Set. Code	The character set of the binary object if the mime type is text.	string	Reference IETF RFC 2045, 2046, 2047	Relate an instance of MimeText to ComputerData with mimeSubType		B - Too many concepts are folded in to this one term.
02-005	SC	Binary Object. Encoding. Code	Specifies the decoding algorithm of the binary object.	string	Reference IETF RFC 2045, 2046, 2047	Procedure		B - Not sure that we understand this term - If it is an enumerated set, then rate an "A". Otherwise, rate "B" - Also, there is confusion regarding how this element is different from 02-001 and 02-002
02-006	SC	Binary Object. Uniform Resource. Identifier	The Uniform Resource Identifier that identifies where the Binary Object is located.	string		UniformResourceIdentifier		B
02-007	SC	Binary Object. Filename. Text	The filename of the binary object.	string	Reference IETF RFC 2045, 2046, 2047	filename		B - Clear, but reference to an external document, should define succinctly
03-001	SC	Code. Content	A character string (letters, figures or symbols) that for brevity and/or language independence may be used to represent or replace a definitive value or text of an Attribute.	string		SymbolicString		B - Is it a pointer (implementation detail) or an actual thing? - How is it different from other strings?
03-002	SC	Code List. Agency. Identifier	An agency that maintains one or more code lists.	string	Defaults to the UN/EDIFACT data element 3055 code list.	uniqueIdentifier		B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
03-003	SC	Code List. Agency Name. Text	The name of the agency that maintains the code list.	string		SymbolicString		B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
03-004	SC	Code List. Name. Text	The name of a list of codes.	string		names		B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
03-005	SC	Code List. Identifier	The identification of a list of codes	string	Can be used to identify the URL of a source that defines the set of currently approved permitted values	uniqueIdentifier		B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
03-006	SC	Code List Scheme. Uniform Resource. Identifier	The Uniform Resource Identifier that identifies where the code list scheme is located.	string		UniformResourceIdentifier		B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
03-007	SC	Code List. Uniform Resource. Identifier	The Uniform Resource Identifier that identifies where the code list is located.	string		UniformResourceIdentifier	question: named as listed in table 8-2; note that this component is listed as Code. Name. Text Language. Identifier under table 8-1	B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
03-008	SC	Code List. Version. Identifier	The Version of the code list.	string	Identifies the Version of the UN/EDIFACT data element 3055 code list.	uniqueIdentifier		B - It appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
03-009	SC	Code. Name. Text	The textual equivalent of the code content	string	If no code content exists, the code name can be used on its own	SymbolicString		B - It's not clear what this is and why a simple text type cannot be used? - The contingent definition is also puzzling.
04-001	SC	Date Time. Content	The particular point in the progression of time	string	For times use an ISO 8601 compliant format that includes the UTC offset	time		A
04-002	SC	Date Time. Format. Text	The format of the date/time content	string	Reference ISO 8601 and W3C note on date time	SymbolicString		A
05-001	SC	Identification Scheme Agency. Identifier	The identification of the agency that maintains the identification scheme.	string	Defaults to the UN/EDIFACT data element 3055 code list.	uniqueIdentifier		B - Need to clarify the distinction of Code vs ID, which seems questionable. Also, it appears that there are many different terms defined just because there is a really a relation with several different possible arguments.
05-002	SC	Identification Scheme. Agency Name. Text	The name of the agency that maintains the identification scheme	string		Agent		A
05-003	SC	Identification Scheme Data. Uniform Resource. Identifier	The Uniform Resource Identifier that identifies where the identification scheme data is located	string		UniformResourceIdentifier		B? - It's not clear whether this is an item or a relation - In either case it appears redundant and differentiated only by the argument used if it's a relation.
05-004	SC	Identification Scheme. Identifier	The identification of the identification scheme.	string		uniqueIdentifier		B - What's difference with 05-005
05-005	SC	Identification Scheme. Name. Text	The name of the identification scheme.	string		uniqueIdentifier		B - What's difference with 05-004
05-006	SC	Identification Scheme. Uniform Resource. Identifier	The Uniform Resource Identifier that identifies where the identification scheme is located.	string		UniformResourceIdentifier		B - URI should be location independent
05-007	SC	Identification Scheme. Version. Identifier	The Version of the identification scheme.	string	Identifies the Version of the UN/EDIFACT data element 3055 code list.	version		B
05-008	SC	Identifier. Content	A character string to identify and distinguish uniquely, one instance of an object in an identification scheme from all other objects within the same scheme	string		uniqueIdentifier		B
06-001	SC	Indicator. Content	The value of the indicator	string	For example on, off, true, false	SymbolicString	The Indicator. Content when combined with the Indicator. Format. Text is evidently ble to indicate more than just binary states. As such, mapping Indicator. Type to true may not suffice	B - This appears to be any sort of enumerated type and therefore essentially a character string, meaning that it is redundant
06-002	SC	Indicator. Format. Text	Whether the indicator is numeric, textual or binary	string		SymbolicString		B - Appears redundant with other text types
07-001	SC	Measure. Content	The numeric value determined by measuring an object.	decimal	For example, 24.387 kilograms (24.387 is the Measure. Content)	measure		B - The relationship to object is unclear. The measure of an object must include unit and numeric amount, but also the relevant dimension in the case of a linear measure. The amount is just a number so this item is redundant with any other bare number.
07-002	SC	Measure Unit. Code	The type of unit of measure	string	Reference UN/ECE Rec. 20 and X12 355.	ConstantQuantity		B - References a big standard, prefer to see a definition included here - Some overlap w/ 01-000 (unit of measure)
07-003	SC	Measure Unit. Code List Version. Identifier	The Version of the measure unit code list.	string		version		B
08-001	SC	Numeric. Content	Numeric information that is assigned or is determined by calculation, counting or sequencing.	as defined by Numeric. Format. Text	May be decimal	Number		B - Redundant with other bare numbers.
08-002	SC	Numeric. Format. Text	Whether the number is an integer, decimal, real number or percentage	string		subclasses of Number		B - Unclear mapping since a percentage must be distinguished from a number less than 1. These two items shouldn't be covered by the same term.
09-001	SC	Quantity. Content	A counted number of non-monetary units possibly including fractions.	decimal	For example 7 bales (7 is the Quantity. Content)	ConstantQuantity		B - Redundant with other numbers
09-002	SC	Quantity. Unit. Code	The unit of the quantity	string	May use UN/ECE Rec. 20	ConstantQuantity		C - Appears redundant with other unit types
09-003	SC	Quantity Unit. Code List Agency. Identifier	The identification of the agency which maintains the quantity unit code list	string		uniqueIdentifier		C - Redundant with 03-002
09-004	SC	Quantity Unit. Code List. Identifier	The quantity unit code list.	string	Defaults to the UN/EDIFACT data element 3055 code list.	uniqueIdentifier		B
09-005	SC	Quantity Unit. Code List Agency Name. Text	The name of the agency which maintains the quantity unit code list.	string		Agent		C
10-001	SC	Text. Content	A character string (i.e. a finite set of characters) generally in the form of words of a language.	string		SymbolicString		B - Redundant with other text types
10-002	SC	Language. Identifier	The identifier of the language used in the corresponding text string	string	Reference ISO 639: 1998	subclasses of Language		A - References ISO standard
10-003	SC	Language. Locale. Identifier	The identification of the locale of the language.	string		GeographicArea		B - Language and geographical areas are not the same - Specifications of locales have tremendous ambiguity - Role of localize is unclear - Assuming an ISO code list
