You have made this statement before but I have not seen examples of what you mean by this. Perhaps you could explain where we have gone wrong and what we should be doing using UBL1.1 BIEs? It is hard to correct something if we don't know what we are aiming for.

One of the fundamental problems with the library is the Lack of consistently applied object qualifiers. This makes any harmonization extremely difficult if not impossible, and leads to a questionable conformance to ccts. The use of property terms and qualifiers is equally problematic in the way we have done it. Until and unless we begin to base our Bies on CCs we will have a disconnected inconsistant library that manifests itself in the form of inconsistent schema.
