Subject: [ubl-lsc] Minutes of UBL Liaison SC meeting 2002.08.16
The UBL Liaison SC met by phone Friday 16 August 2002. Present: Yes No x Karl Best (invited observer, OASIS) x Jon Bosak (chair) x Mark Crawford (vice chair, UBL TC) x Derek Coleman (RosettaNet) x Stuart Feder (invited observer, SDMX) x Bill French (EIDX) x Patrick Gannon (invited observer, OASIS) x John Hervey (NACS) x Kris Ketels (SWIFT) x Richard Mader (ARTS) x Bob Matsey (invited observer, UIG) x Tim McGrath (invited observer, chair UBL LCSC) x Charlie Mead (HL7) x Sue Probert (EWG T8) x Lisa Seaburg (invited observer, UBL LCSC) x Ray Seddigh (XBRL) x Robert Shanbaum (VCA) x James Whittle (e.centre) x Nigel Wood (ACORD) Agenda: 1. Press Releases We are waiting for a quote from SWIFT. 2. Calendar (http://oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/lsc/calendar.htm) Jon, Mark, Sue, Nigel, and Stuart will be attending the first meeting of the CEFACT Forum in Geneva 9-13 September. 3. Interoperability (Bill French) Skipped. 4. Status report on upcoming schema review (Tim McGrath) Lisa Seaburg reported as follows: Some members of the LC in the critical path for this review have been delayed in their work by the requirements of their jobs. The LC is hoping on Monday 19 August to start the review with a downloadable zip file containing spreadsheet, class diagrams, position papers (Codes and Identifiers, Date/Time), comment form, and review guide with release notes. Then by Wednesday 21 August they plan to make available the XSD generated from the spreadsheet. Lisa noted that some design decisions are still pending in the Naming and Design Rules SC and that therefore this release has to be considered a work in progress. The issues will be called out in the release notes. The existence of these issues should not prevent us from gaining useful input regarding business semantics. The LC very much wants to have review comments in hand in time for the UBL f2f in Burlington 1-4 October. Lisa proposed a deadline of COB Wednesday 25 September and the LSC agreed. Jon Bosak reported that RosettaNet has agreed to actively participate in this review cycle. 5. Review scheduling ACORD -- Nigel Wood A small review team (one or two members, including Alan Stitzer) will provide input. Nigel intends to use this as an opportunity for education and outreach. The focus of ACORD's interest will be on the reusability of the components in the BIE library ARTS -- Richard Mader There are no IXRetail meetings scheduled during this review cycle, so Richard will send the review package to the technical committee and then schedule a conference call to discuss it. e.centre -- James Whittle (absent) EIDX -- Bill French (absent) HL7 -- Charlie Mead HL7 is in the middle of ANSI balloting for Version 3, so this is a good time for the UBL review, but bandwidth is a problem. Charlie will present the review package to the Modeling and Methodology Subcommittee. He expects 2-3 reviewers to check alignment with the HL7 reference information model and will push to get us input by our 25 September deadline. "Passionate feedback" is to be expected. NACS -- John Hervey NACS has four people committed to review this package. RosettaNet -- Derek Coleman (absent) SWIFT -- Kris Ketels (absent) VCA -- Robert Shanbaum (absent) XBRL -- Ray Seddigh Ray spoke on UBL at the June XBRL meeting in Toronto. People are aware that the review package is coming, and the XBRL Specification Committee will participate. Ray plans to announce the package when it becomes available next week and then set up a conference call to discuss it. X12 -- Mark Crawford Mark will give the review package to X12 COTG and request that an X12 SC look at it. There is no X12 SC doing procurement specifications right now. Mark will also bring this to the attention of X12C/TG3, and he expects more input from them. He also intends to speak to chairs of appropriate X12 domain groups at the X12 meeting in Miami and will ask David and Ralph to post a notice to the X12 Steering Committee. UN/EDIFACT -- Sue Probert T8 will perform a comparison of UBL and CCSD Boeing [I may not have captured this correctly] at the Geneva meeting, using class diagrams to develop a syntax-neutral library. Those of us attending the Geneva meeting will also attempt to involve individual domain groups, but the reorganization in progress may make scheduling the necessary conversations difficult. We will certainly circulate the review package with a request for feedback, and we should be able to announce the availability of the review package to the Steering Group. Announcement It was agreed that Lisa would alert the LSC to the availability of the pieces of the review package as they were put on the web site but would wait a couple of days after that to give the liaisons a chance to notify their reviewers before making a public announcement. So we should expect messages to this list (LSC) on Monday and Wednesday and a public announcement to ubl-comment on Friday 23 August. At that time, Jon will request an announcement on the OASIS "announce" list and will ask OASIS to consider a press release. It was agreed that the review package should contain a pointer to UBL background materials and might even include the boilerplate description of UBL that we have been using in press releases. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL Liaison Subcommittee
