[DDI-SRG] [MRT] Model cleanup: data types used only once

[Wackerow, Joachim]

Did you have look at diagram which is attached to the other email?
My understanding is that the mentioned items are used only once by the items in the diagram.

My suggestions is to merge the attributes from these items into the ones where they are used.
I.e. moving the attributes agentIdType and agentIdValue from AgentId to Agent and remove AgentId.

but all of these are used by Annotation and thus appear all over the place

There are some structured data types with attributes (flat structure) which are only used once.

DDICore_40_PIM-DataTypes-StructuredDataTypes-AgentId
DDICore_40_PIM-DataTypes-StructuredDataTypes-BibliographicName
DDICore_40_PIM-DataTypes-StructuredDataTypes-LocalIdFormat

This raises the question if they really make sense. The attributes could be just included in the item where the data type is used.
Or is there any other use of these data types intended?

BibliographicName inherits from InternationalString but is used only once. Again the question if this could be not simpler.

See attached diagram.
