Subject: Re: UBL L10N (Pacific) coordination call 8|9 March 2004
Attending today's UBL localization coordination call were: Jon Bosak William Chan Chin Chee-kai Anne Hendry Noboru Itoh Jason Lee Tim McGrath Bill Meadows Yukinori Saito Patrick Yee 1. We reviewed the calendar. (To see the calendar, go to the UBL TC page, click on the Liaison SC link, then go to documents.) Mr. Saito reported that he will be giving a presentation to the XML Consortium in Tokyo on 15 March that will include about 20 minutes on UBL and ebXML. 2. I noted that OASIS will provide training in use of the kavi interface through which we manage the SC pages and mailing lists. People needing kavi training should contact Jamie Clark of OASIS (jamie.clark@oasis-open.org) to arrange for a training session. 3. We reviewed the 1.0 delivery schedule. Version 1.0 is scheduled for completion at the end of April. This means that we will begin planning for UBL 1.1 at the meeting in Hong Kong 10-14 May. Localization will be one of our main items of discussion at that meeting. 4. We discussed how best to use the time between now and the meeting in Hong Kong. I suggested the following plan: - The first order of business is to arrange for kavi training and to then set up SC web pages and mailing lists using the character set that each SC intends to employ in the work of translation. For an example of an SC web page, see http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/sc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl-jplsc For an example of a test of the mail list, see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-jplsc/200401/msg00000.html - When the web page and mailing lists have been tested, the SCs should begin the work of translation by translating the definitions and names in the data model spreadsheets. - It is understood that we will need to define a controlled vocabulary in order to complete the translations. My suggestion is that we work with the spreadsheets for the next two months and then decide how to create the controlled vocabulary when we meet in Hong Kong, taking an initial controlled vocabulary from UN/CEFACT TBG17 as input. This suggestion needs to be discussed in the l10n SCs. - All questions and answers regarding either content or methodology should be posted to the ubl-l10n list in order to create an archive that will also serve for future localization SCs, for example the Spanish Localization SC now forming. 5. Our next Pacific localization call will take place Monday 5 April 2004 at 16h30 California time. This is: 16h30 Mon 5 April in California 08h30 Tue 6 April in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Perth 09h30 Tue 6 April in Tokyo and Seoul Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
