SCHEDULE REVIEW

    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200909/msg00017.html

    TM/PB: Originally intended to conclude disposition of issues at
    the PSC meeting this week, but the etendering and utility
    statement requirements remain to be merged in.  So we estimate
    another 1-2 weeks before we have a complete set of 2.1
    spreadsheets.  Discussions have identified more document types
    to be added.

    Regarding the strategy outlined in the minutes from last week's
    Atlantic call: it's now clear that one final step in the
    spreadsheet consolidation will be working out all of the code
    list requirements and identify where we actually have know code
    list values.  There are probably a hundred code lists in the
    library now.

    AGREED to aim to deliver a skeletal PRD package for review over
    the holiday break, hand in the reviews the first week of
    January, and start the first formal editorial pass the second
    week of January.  We already have enough material for a
    credible and useful PRD1.

    ACTION: TM to check to make sure that the changes to
    definitions identified by the JPLSC and agreed on during
    compilation of the IDD (see IDD Vol. 1 for documentation) have
    been implemented in the 2.1 spreadsheets.

UBL 2.0 NAMING AND DESIGN RULES

    NDR PRD2 is hanging because we're not using the latest OASIS
    document templates.

       ACTION (10/20): GKH to provide updated DocBook stylesheets.

       JB: GKH has finished the stylesheet revision and is now
       working on the documentation.

CCTS 2.01 DMR

    ACTION (6/30): TM to circulate a draft CCTS 2.01 DMR to the
    TC for review.

       Pending.

UBL 2.0 NDR IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE WIKI

    http://wiki.oasis-open.org/ubl/NDR_2.0_Implementation_Guide

    BH: NIST will soon be releasing version 2 of the Q/A tool and
    BH will be beta testing it.

    AGREED that Jan-Feb will be a good time to pick up work on this
    along with the NDR 2.1 documention.

    2-5 February 2010 in Copenhagen or Malmö; Tim McGrath to chair.

    (Preliminary) 9-13 August 2010 (the week following Balisage

OTHER BUSINESS

    AH: The OASIS Emergency Management TC will be doing an
    information session soon on "location."

    AS: Freightwise has a requirement to add location data.  TSC
    will be adding a location element from the CEFACT library.
    More elaborate location data is needed for geophysics; not
    needed now, but PSC might have some interest.

    AH: The Energy Market Information Exchange TC needs to define
    location, so they may be using the Emergency Management
    version.

    JB: Concerned that the Emergency Management TC may be working
    in ignorance of the CEFACT location database.

    ACTION: AH to inform the EM TC of the existence of the CEFACT
    work.

    TM: Attended a Freightwise meeting last week; there were 180
    people in attendance.  This will roll into a bigger project
    called eFreight, which looks like a freight version of PEPPOL.
