Status of the HISC output specification development

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Hi folks!

While this is targeted to HISC, I'm copying the whole UBL TC to bring 
this to your attention, hoping that we might get some assistance with 
the UBL 2.0 to UN Layout Key mappings.

With the assistance of Oriol an Roberto having given me the required 
mappings, I've completed the specification of the UBL 2.0 Invoice to 
the UNLK UN380 Invoice form:

   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=25985

There is enough information now embedded in the output specification 
that I can synthesize automatically the layout of the stylesheets 
that I've made publicly available on our web site.  The 
implementation of the mapping is done by hand, again from the 
specification.  This proves, to me, that the specification must be 
complete enough for any vendor to make a matching implementation in 
any technology.

That's the goal, but only one of the thirty-one document types is 
done ... others are at various stages of development, and that is 
covered in the index file of the package.

There is a readme file as well that is used by specification writers 
to embed in a specification document and implementers to harvest from 
a specification document.

BTW, I've brought the status of the work to light on the home page of 
the committee, in an effort to remind visitors they can join the 
committee to help, or they can submit their contributions through the 
OASIS feedback mechanism:

   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl-hisc

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you can 
contribute to any of the formatting specifications.

Thanks!
