Recommendations

• Choose a term to use consistently - "HazardousMaterial" or "Hazmat" or "HazMat"
• Remove "Data" from "it:HazardousMaterialDataType" (term is not needed)
• Add class term "HazardousMaterial" to the International Trade hazmat elements for consistency and better awareness
• Expand acronyms in International Trade hazmat element definitions
• Harmonize the hazmat code element
  • nc:HazmatAbstract
    • nc:HazardousMaterialCode (hazmat:HazmatUNCodeType)
    • nc:HazmatCodeText (nc:TetType)
  • it:UNDGCodeText (nc:TextType) - An UN Dangerous Goods identifier code. (same element?)
  • m:HazmatDeclarationUNHazmatCode (hazmat:HazmatUNCodeType)
• Harmonize placard information and other duplicated components
• Review modeling for hazardous material vs hazardous material declaration
• Review for usage consistency across domains

[cdmgtri]

The Harmonization Workgroup recommends refactoring hazmat components for consistency and better reuse. Representatives from affected domains should work together to provide a recommended solution.

Issue pending discussion and review from the International trade and Maritime domains.
