Subject: UBL 2.1 BIE definitions
Hello PSC and TSC, FYI, from this week's Pacific call minutes: /======================================================================= | ASBIE DEFINITIONS | | Recent work documenting the role of ASBIEs in the UBL data model | has again raised the issue of ASBIE definitions. See below for a | list of current ASBIE definitions from the Common Library. | | There are also ABIE definitions needing work, for example: | | The Average price included VAT. This clas are suplementary | utility Statements, that depending of type of Utility and | scenario, needs to be present on a UtilityStatement, in order | to meet the legal requirement and/or to give the Buyer proper | informations. Note that these suplementary Statements are | related to one common ConsumptionPoint as specified in | UtilityChargeableConsumption/ConsumptionPoint above. | | JB: The list of ASBIE definitions (see agenda for this call) shows | two completely different kinds of "definitions" randomly | intermixed. For example, "An association to Payment Means" is | followed by "The time where an appeal can be presented." The | latter is an actual definition, whereas the former simply repeats | information found in the Associated Object Class column of the | model and is definitionally vacuous. | | GKH: And it is not sufficient to simply refer to the definition of | the ABIE from which the ASBIE is derived. Consider, as a simple | example, these two ASBIEs in PaymentMeans: | | cac:PaymentMeans/cac:PayeeFinancialAccount is an ASBIE of the | cac:FinancialAccount ABIE | | cac:PaymentMeans/cac:PayerFinancialAccount is another ASBIE of | the same cac:FinancialAccount ABIE | | If we were simply to define both to be "An instance of the | Financial Account ABIE", that would tell the user nothing at all. | They already know that from the spreadsheet or from the schema. | And the definition of FinancialAccount as "Information about a | Financial Account" says nothing about the difference between a | PayeeFinancialAccount and a PayerFinancialAccount. In this | particular case their functions are suggested by their names, but | that is not a solution to the general problem. | | AGREED that the definitions are not yet of a quality sufficient | for release of PRD3. | | NEXT STEPS: Discuss in the Atlantic call. \======================================================================= Jon
