[DDI-SRG] [CDI] Questions about ControlledVocabularyEntry, PairedControlledVocabularyEntry and Reference

[Flavio Rizzolo]

Hi,

These are the new Native classes, with the old classes as extensions:

We can always define attributes of type NativeControlledVocabularyEntry 
and NativeReference, which will allow us to use the full-fledged list of 
attributes from the sub-classes if necessary.

With that in mind:

1) shouldn't we then change the type of the attributes in 
PairedControlledVocabulary to NativeControlledVocabularyEntry?

2) What's exactly "vocabulary" in ControlledVocabularyEntry? How is it used?

3) Actually, how do we really use these things? I understand how the 
Native classes work, but now it seems Reference might be used to 
reference a term and an extent, like PairedControlledVocabularyEntry, 
but in a different way. I think there was an example somewhere that help 
people made sense of all this, but I can't find it, and I fear we are 
making a mistake somewhere... So many cross references between classes 
are making me dizzy...

Thanks,

Flavio
