Subject: Re: [ubl] Plea for HISC help from subject matter experts
I've looked at whether an SBS can be produced for the Catalogue documents. There seem to be three particular ABIEs that need subsetting: Item, BasePrice and perhaps, if it were to be included, Signature There are also problems with CatalogueLine (I think there should be two or three kinds, one for Catalogue/CatalogueItemSpecificationUpdate and another for CataloguePricingUpdate (to make this a lot simpler) with perhaps another for CatalogueRequest (minimized). This is really for PSC, I suppose, but it obviously impacts HISC and possibly SBSC. I found it most straightforward to subset just the CatalogueRequest, Catalogue and CatalogueDeletion but doing it in earnest would need collaboration between the three SCs to get a proper concensus of requirements and solution. In all the Catalogue documents are likely to be very complex even when subsetted (though not unavoidably so, I would think). I attach three sample subsetted instances. There is more work in it than I could manage alone (given collaboration), technically - keeping the subset in line with future changes would be a lot to undertake. Creating spreadsheet records of these along with SBS subsets would also be a lot of editorial work, as would maintenance when UBL 2's content changes after the review. If the Catalogue subsets would be so complex still would they be of any use to HISC? All the best Steve On 09/03/06, G.
