Subject: XPath files for latest UBL 1.0 CD distribution (CD2)
Hello all! I've just confirmed that the XPath files posted earlier: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200408/msg00077.html are unchanged for the latest release of UBL 1.0 announced this week: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200409/msg00015.html So the following links from that earlier post represent valid XPath files for UBL 1.0: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/8760/UBL-XPath-HTML-1.0cd2.zip http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/8759/UBL-XPath-Text-1.0cd2.zip http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/8758/UBL-XPath-XML-1.0cd2.zip This also happens to be a confirmation that no content structure changes were introduced into the schema files between the two periods of time. The namespace prefixes adopted for documentary purposes in these files can now be interpreted as follows (note that there is no obligation to use these prefixes in UBL documents): xmlns:cac="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-1.0" xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-1.0" xmlns:co="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:OrderChange-1.0" xmlns:da="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:DespatchAdvice-1.0" xmlns:in="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-1.0" xmlns:po="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Order-1.0" xmlns:ra="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:ReceiptAdvice-1.0" xmlns:ro="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:OrderResponse-1.0" xmlns:rs="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:OrderResponseSimple-1.0" xmlns:xo="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:OrderCancellation-1.0" These XPath 1.0 reports are based solely on XML 1.0 and are agnostic of any XML-related technology for transformation or processing. Remember that these XPath files are enumerations of every possible element and every possible attribute of all eight document types in UBL 1.0. The HTML and Text reports are useful documentation artifacts when succinctly but unambiguously referencing elements and their attributes in a document model. It was with these files that FPSC/HISC was able to visually specify the element/attribute content of layout forms in a prescriptive manner. The XML files are not useful as validated UBL examples because their forced completeness could never be validated by the models. However, many XML-based technologies rely solely on well-formedness and not on validity, such as XSLT 1.0, so these XML XPath files can actually be run through XSLT 1.0 stylesheets without error. It was with these files that Crane Softwrights Ltd. was able to confirm their XSLT 1.0 stylesheet library accurately captured the prescribed fields in the appropriate boxes without having to create or find validated source instances. Please direct any questions to HISC or, off-line, to myself. Thanks! ........................
