The UBL Context Methodology subcommittee has not yet released a document, but [1] indicates that "the latest date for delivery of the CM document is March 29.". Of course, this overlap will become clearer once IBM releases the Business Payload Composition piece - no available date yet (I asked Scott Hinkleman).

However Business Payload Composition bit sounds to me awfully similar in scope to work being done by UBL see [4] which says "The TC will then design a mechanism for the generation of context-specific business schemas through the application of transformation rules to the common UBL source library". > > ... or am I missing something. > > David > > [1] http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2004-02-02-a.html > [2] http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-biics/ > [3] ftp://www6.software.ibm.com/software/developer/library/x-biics/BI-ICSSpec_v1.html > [4] http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl > > -----Original Message----- > From: Chiusano Joseph [mailto:chiusano_joseph@bah.com] > Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 2:26 PM > To: ebsoa@lists.oasis-open.org; CCRev; CAM; Registry TC - SCM SC > Subject: [ebsoa] IBM BI-ICS > > This morning at the XML.gov monthly meeting[1] I saw a presentation > given by Scott Hinkleman of IBM on IBM's new "Business Integration - > Information Conformance Standards (BI-ICS)" specification[2].
