[Fwd: [regrep] Implementing CCTS in Registry - further thoughts]

Team,

I'm forwarding an e-mail from mid-February from Dave Welsh. His response
is to my proposal of using the Slot mechanism of the registry for Core
Components (as we now all agree is the best approach). In my e-mail I
presented a SQL query for a Core Component as follows:

SELECT *
FROM RegistryObject, Slots
WHERE RegistryObject.ID=Slots.ID AND
      RegistryObject.ObjectType='CoreComponent' AND
      Slots.Name='PropertyTerm' AND
      Slots.Value='Residence'

Dave points out that our approach should keep in mind that Business
Processes are coming down the pike as well - that is, we are laying
groundwork in this effort that will be used for future efforts (and we
should therefore remain cognizant of that at all times). Here is Dave's
response:

<Dave>
Please also keep in mind that besides core components support we will
have a need by the registry for the same intrinsic support for the
actual Business Process models: 
SELECT *
FROM BusinessProcesses
WHERE IndustryDomain='Retail', BusinessArea='Identification',
BusinessArea='Procurement', BusinessProcess='Provide Catalog;
</Dave>

I would maintain that the above Business Process query could be
accomodated by Slots, just as we are accomodating the representation of
Core Components.

Is anyone in agreement on this?

Joe
