Subject: Re: [ubl-ndrsc] Schema Review: Property Term Possessive(s)
Well spotted Mike!
The idea of Property Term Possesive and Property Term Noun is to give
more rigour the naming of Property Terms.
The Property Term may consist of one or more possessive nouns preceeding
the mandatory noun. This ownership is a refinement of the term to make
a meaningful and recognisable business name. So we use a modeling
principle that says "Property Term Possesive(s)" + space + "Property
Term Noun" = "Property Term". NB. The Property Term Possesive is not a
qualifier - that is the Property Term Qualifier. The difference is
important.
The guide is to take any multi-word Property Terms and try and form a
statement that says "PropertyTermNoun OF THE PropertyTermPossessive" or
"PropertyTermPossessive's PropertyTermNoun". If this works then the word
is a possessive noun - if not then it is a Property Term Qualifier.
For example, "Name OF THE Street" or "Street's Name" works for
Address.StreetName, so Street is the Possessive Noun. Whereas, "Zone OF
THE Postal" or "Postal's Zone" does not make sense, so Postal is the
Qualifier.
We have been applying this concept since last May, when Mike Adcock
originated the idea - although it was then called Property Term
Adjective and Property Term Noun. It works well and has proven its
value in forming better and consistent terms.
The lack of any NDR recognition reflects the fact that many NDRs are
geared around CCTS theory not UBL practice. This means that many NDRs
have been phrased around Property Term. They now need to embody the
actual UBL Library, such that it is clear "Property Term" in NDR means
"Property Term Possesive(s)" + space + "Property Term Noun" .
We did submit this to the CC Review as an enhancement but that review
cycle fell into a hole and I dont know if we shall see it again.
PS
If it is not being consistently applied with the UBL Name then please
give an example as it suggests a bug in the formula or generator.
