Subject: Backward compatibility sanity check with 2010-05-12 18:48z document models
Hi all!
I finally found the time to finish the programmatic analytical
comparison of UBL 2.1 models with UBL 2.0 models as a sanity check
and I found five errors that must be addressed before we go to our
first public review draft, as these are errors that prevent backward
compatibility (which we promise and require). Once we address these,
then I think, hand on heart, I can claim the new UBL 2.1 schemas are
fully backward compatible with UBL 2.0 schemas. I hope other
committee members can prove me right or wrong, and if wrong, I'll address it.
The set of five problems includes the one I tripped over last week
regarding Request for Quotation.
The summary is below, showing the old cardinality and the new
cardinality. Where the old cardinality is zero, a new items is being
introduced and must be made optional (in both cases they are
incorrectly set as mandatory). Where the new cardinality is blank,
the old UBL 2.0 item has been dropped out of the new UBL 2.1 models
and must be restored.
I also checked the sequence order of all UBL 2.0 ABIEs in the UBL 2.1
ABIEs and I find errors only in the three ABIE's that have missing
items reported in the first pass. So it looks like nothing was
inadvertently rearranged, only some items were inadvertently dropped.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I won't try to create
schemas until these five issues are addressed as these are, I
believe, preventing us from going to the first public review.
To summarize, I'm now checking:
(1) - for all BBIEs and ASBIEs in UBL 2.0, check the cardinality of the
corresponding BIE in UBL 2.1 as not preventing UBL 2.0 instances
from being invalid
- here is the table extracted from my code ... have I made any errors
(the assumption is that minimums can be dropped and maximums can be
raised)?
<allow old="0">
<allowed>0..1</allowed>
<allowed>0..n</allowed>
</allow>
<allow old="0..1">
<allowed>0..1</allowed>
<allowed>0..n</allowed>
</allow>
<allow old="0..n">
<allowed>0..n</allowed>
</allow>
<allow old="1">
<allowed>0..1</allowed>
<allowed>0..n</allowed>
<allowed>1</allowed>
<allowed>1..n</allowed>
</allow>
<allow old="1..n">
<allowed>1..n</allowed>
<allowed>0..n</allowed>
</allow>
(2) - for all ABIEs in UBL 2.0, check that the order of BBIEs and ASBIEs
in UBL 2.0 is the same order as those found in UBL 2.1, ignoring any
introduced optional constructs of UBL 2.1
Are there any other programmatic checks that need to be done?
Thank you for your input into the process.
