STANDING ITEMS
Additions to the calendar:
http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm
GKH: SC34 WG1 is 6 August; WG3 has been moved to 11-13
August.
Liaison report: Tax XML TC
SW: Working meeting tomorrow, general meeting Thursday.
Team report: Code Lists
GKH: No feedback received on Code List Methodology 0.6. For
the record, it should be noted that the schematron
stylesheets in 0.6 are versions of schematron 1.5 that have
been modified to use the namespace of ISO schematron (which
is not yet available) so that people can use the new ISO
namespace even though there is no implementation of that
yet. The modules in the package implement enough of the ISO
schematron to give us a good defaultCodeList.xsl file. This
is documented in 0.6.
SW: Regarding the question of code lists not being used: we
discussed this in PSC and agreed that two of the code lists
have typos: "packing" instead of "packaging" and "transport"
instead of "transportation" -- so the apparently unused code
lists will be pulled in when these typos are fixed. Unit of
Measure is not used but is included for customization and
subsets. PB has the action item to correct these errors in
the spreadsheets.
GKH: So Units of Measure will get moved from the default
directory to the special-purpose directory and omitted from
defaultCodeList.xsl. What about the CEFACT Language code
list?
SW: Did not discuss in PSC; will add to agenda for the
Friday call.
Subcommittee report: PSC
SW: PB will be on vacation beginning Monday till 31 July;
ML's ability to attend is unknown; so we're suspending PSC
meetings till 31 July. GEFEG is waiting for another draft
of NDR so that we can correct the naming problem. PB to put
all spreadsheet masters in the PSC library (the Friday
meeting is special to get his participation).
Subcommittee report: TSC
AS: Pretty quiet, nothing to report.
Review of Atlantic call
No comments.
Schedule review
See next.
TEST BUILD DIRECTORY STRUCTURE REVIEW
We reviewed the status of each piece we're trying to assemble
for a test in GKH's Friday tutorial ("prd" means the first 2.0
public review draft).
art/
Same as prd; TM owes updates to comprehend two new document
types.
asn/
Not expecting this prior to the next public review.
cl/
GKH will provide the latest cl directory, including
defaultCodeList.xsl (which gets moved to the validate
directory).
cl/gc
cl/gc/cefact
GKH/SW: Our understanding is that the values of the enums
have not changed since 1.0; they will be taken from the
latest schema drafts.
cl/gc/default
cl/gc/special-purpose
cl/xsdcl
The xsdcl files are enums for default and special-purpose,
provided for users wanting xsd versions of the code lists.
cl/xsdcl/default
cl/xsdcl/special-purpose
JB: We will need to provide instructions to users on how to
create their own enum-based schemas from these files (e.g.,
how to set up namespace declarations).
SW: Will look into this.
doc
doc/etc
May disappear; blank for this week.
doc/ndr
Will eventually contain the NDR checklist; blank for this
week. The question of how the NDR document itself will be
published (separate Standard, separate CS, part of the 2.0
release) remains to be determined.
mod
mod/lib
mod/maindoc
For Friday, these should contain the spreadsheets from WD5.
uml
uml/concept
uml/implem
TM: Nearly finished with these diagrams and have sent a
draft to PSC; should be done by Friday. The diagrams in the
last set were criticized for being too big to print out
well, so this time we've broken them down into one diagram
for every ABIE. The material is now too big (12 MB) for
inclusion in a PDF, so it should be linked to somewhere.
JB: But there is no way to assign a URL at OASIS. The
problem here is the requirement to provide a PDF; this is an
unworkable policy.
AGREED that we will include the diagrams as part of the
release package and that they will all go into a single flat
uml directory (no further need for concept and implem
subdirectories).
TM: Updating the process diagrams for index.html as well;
expect in the same package Friday. Will send GKH and JB a
link to the current draft for use in the classroom test
build.
validate/
JB working on this (ran into problem with line endings
crossing the XP/linux boundary).
xml (sample instances)
SW: The problem is that we can't get the instances to have
correct names with the current naming problems; PB is trying
to get a consulting resource dedicated to doing the
instances in his absences, but haven't heard of the outcome.
No sample instances this week.
GKH: So what I'm preparing for the class Friday will be what
I'm using for the UBL tutorial in Montreal.
SW: We also needed use cases/scenarios from TM, and those
are not complete; TM is trying to decide whether to use the
office supply scenario or a new building materials scenario.
GKH: May leave this directory empty in the test version.
xsd
xsd/common
xsd/maindoc
SW: Still have two schemas left to create.
GKH: If we get a new set by build time, will include;
otherwise will go with WD5. Timing on this is not critical,
as the classroom exercises won't be relying on them.
xsdrt
xsdrt/common
xsdrt/maindoc
Created automatically from xsd files.
THIS WEEK'S WORK PLAN
JB to focus on index.html and documentation; GKH to use
tonight's directory structure; use prd for output samples.
JB to provide GKH index.html and validate by Thursday p.m.
SW: The critical path for work next week is getting the NDR
language done and accepted. PB has sent mail to the list and
the NDR editors. Note that the GEFEG developers go on vacation
next week.
The group could not agree on whether NDRs can cover rules for
dictionary entry names.
ACTION: TM to review the NDRs on this and prepare a briefing
paper for this week's Atlantic call.
MONTREAL TC MEETING
JB: Nothing new.
AS: Four-day or 4.5-day format.
JB: Don't know; we need to discuss this in the Atlantic call.
ACTION ITEM REVIEW
ACTION: NDR editors to look at the syntax of the QDT for
ChannelCode and tell TM whether this is a legal restriction.
Pending.
ACTION: TM to talk to PB about putting the change log into a
form that will help indicate the differences between this
review package and the last one.
Pending. PB to try for a diff to TM by Friday.
ACTION: TM to mail comment submitters with disposition of
comments.
Pending.
ACTION: JB to check with MC about possibly chairing the call
7/19.
Done; MC will chair the call.
JB: Note that there are no UBL TC calls next week.
