Bob,

RegRep has not adopted Guide (or anything else for that matter yet). We
are in the process of determining the
right solution to classification support in the Registry Services. David
just sent an initial proposal yesterday (posted on
regrep mailing list after a marathon effort) this morning at 1am. Needless
to say none of us in RegRep have had a chance to look into it.

I have to say that I agree with you that it would be extremely premature
and presumptuous to say anything about any ebXML standard way of dealing
with classification. It does not exists yet. I would also assume that
while we will beg and borrow good ideas from any number of source, what
the ebXML RegRep specifications should do is to integrate the works from
all the different working groups.

I am assuming that there will be a Registry Information Model that is
driven by the meta-models from BP, TP, CC, TRP groups, with possible
additional meta-model elements specific to the Registry (to fill in any
cracks if you will). If any of the meta-models from WGs are inadequate
then we should treat that as an alignment issue and work out the issue
with the appropriate teams. IMHO, the Registry will be the place where all
ebXML meta-models will be aligned and integrated into a cohesive whole.

I am very grateful for all the help you have been providing on getting us
a BP perspective on classification. Please continue to participate to the
best of your abilities to help us get this right.

I am posting this on regrep as well since it is quite material.
