I  completely agree with Terry's emphasis.
Concerning distributed respositories, I submitted a document to spur
discussion along this.
The latest is in the BP web page at:

Subject:  Re: UNSPSC - and code lists in general



Terry Allen, of Commerce One, wrote that the ebxml Registry and
Repository Part 1- Business Domain v1-0 document at
http://www.ebxml.org/specdrafts/RegRepv1-0.pdf is "mooted."  Is that a
fancy way of saying the document is obsolete, and that it shouldn't be
listed on the page giving the Drafts Open for Public Review at
http://www.ebxml.org/specindex.htm?

Terry further thinks that even the list of UPCs isn't too big to encode
in XML.  Even though there are hundreds of millions of UPCs assigned?
And thousands more are added daily?  QRS alone catalogs over 70 or 80
million of them.  I doubt QRS has one jumbo XML document of all those
UPCs and accompanying catalog information.   And why would I need all 70
or 80 million, anyway?  - I might sell only 400 items.  I can probably
ask QRS for the relevant catalog information pertaining to those items
only  - using an XML query, no less!

I do appreciate Terry's emphasis that ebXML will rely on distributed
repositories rather than one jumbo, global repository.
