Re: [ubl-dev] Technical descriptions, samples or examples

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

UBL is an attempt at a more flexible standard for business documents. 
But what I think what you are looking for is covered partly by the UBL 
specification document:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.0/UBL-2.0.html

But this is at a generic level.

For specific implementation rules (the level that the cXML spec is) you 
would need to layer this onto specific profiles such the NES or OIOUBL 
profiles.

Hope that helps.
