Subject: Adding new document types in UBL 2.1
Hello PSC, Regarding the proposed new document type "Purchase Conditions," please note the procedure below from today's TC call minutes. Jon ================================================================== ADDING NEW DOCUMENT TYPES We have a request to add one new CPFR document type, Purchase Conditions (not two as recorded in the minutes of the Pacific TC call). JB: Let's review the way we approve new UBL content. The method we've used since before UBL 0.7 is as follows: - Content is developed by business experts in a relevant UBL content subcommittee. In UBL 0.7 and 1.0, this was a single subcommittee called "the Content Subcommittee." Since then, this work has taken place in two subcommittees, the UBL Procurement Subcommittee (PSC) and the UBL Transportation Subcommittee (TSC). These subcommittees are trusted to make virtually all decisions about the UBL data models. - The rules for creating an XML syntax binding for the data models are created by a separate team. In UBL 0.7 and 1.0, this was a subcommittee called the NDR Subcommittee; in UBL 2.0 and later, this work has been entrusted to the two NDR editors, who work closely with the TC and (in 2.1) the Schema Generation Subcommittee. - The UBL TC itself is formally responsible for everything that goes into each UBL release. In practice, this authority is generally exercised by approving or disapproving the entire release when it comes time to approve a draft. In every release so far, there have been actual issues to resolve at the TC level, but for practical reasons we try whenever possible to resolve these in the subcommittees and only look at issues for which resolution at the subcommittee level has proven impossible. - For UBL 2.1, we've put two other groups into the process. One of these groups is a Modeling Integration Team that was created on 27 October 2009 and consists of TM, AS, and PB: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200910/msg00029.html The other group is the Schema Generation Task Group, which was created a year ago (2009.02.23-03.02) and consists of GKH, Oriol, and TonyC: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200902/msg00019.html The way content gets into the release now is as follows: 1. The PSC or TSC approves content 2. The Modeling Integration Team verifies that the content is properly integrated into the data models 3. The data models go to the SGTG 4. The SGTG generates the schemas using the schema generation tool (which happens this time around to be eDoCreator). (Cf. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201001/msg00003.html) So the way that this additional document type is going to get added to the set is as follows: 1. The PSC approves the new Purchase Conditions document type (or not) 2. The MIT verifies that Purchase Conditions is properly integrated into the data models 3. The revised data models go to the SGTG 4. The SGTG generates the revised schema set. The next step, therefore, is for Fulya to send a message to the PSC mail list asking for the addition of Purchase Conditions to UBL 2.1. Then the PSC considers this (in person or by email), and so on. ACTION: JB to call these minutes to the attention of the PSC.
