The UDEF naming convention conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 11179
and
uses the same 17 property words (class words) as those specified by DoD
8320.1-M-1. Each data element within DoD's data dictionary (based on DoD's
Enterprise-wide Data Model) uses one of the 17 property words. Each data
element within MIL-STD-2549, Configuration Management Data Interface was
named based on the UDEF naming convention. See Appendix C to MIL-STD-2549

Ron,
Perhaps it would clarify if you could pen some lines on the purpose behind
the
idea of having 17 property words - and how this is applicable more
generally?
Obviously in a global context you can translate the 17 words into local
usage.
As we wrestle with the issues of BPR and Core Components within ebXML,
I'm seeing the top down can often get very confusing for the lay person -
or
someone who just understands the business domain - but not the
technobabble!
I'm always trying to distill out what will work at the bottom up - so that
the two
world can co-exist without tripping each other up. The Army seems to avoid
words at all cost afterall - its that A317-B12 you are needing, etc!
At the end of the day some Army Quartermaster has to understand how his
warehouse is organized, and where that actual physical part really is!
