Subject: Minutes of Atlantic UBL TC call 19 January 2011
MINUTES OF ATLANTIC UBL TC MEETING WEDNESDAY 19 JANUARY 2011 ATTENDANCE Peter Borresen Jon Bosak (chair) Roberto Cisternino Tony Coates Betty Harvey Anne Hendry G. Ken Holman Tim McGrath (vice chair) STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ubl.xml.org/events None. Review of Pacific call minutes (Had not been posted by the time of the call) PSC REPORT PLB: Still have about five open issues, which have all been assigned to resolution groups that have not yet returned with their findings. Most are expected in a week or so. The biggest issue has to do with the question of a message envelope. TM: This question goes back to UBL 1. The requirement is to create a container document for other documents, i.e., a structure that can be used to describe sender, recipient, content, security, document type, date stamp, acknowledgement requests, etc. Our position from the beginning is that this belongs to the transport layer rather than the document layer, but now BII is requiring a platform-agnostic solution within a single document family rather than the introduction of another set of technologies. My initial reaction was to adopt an existing solution such as the UN/CEFACT Standard Business Document Header (SBDH), as was done with Svefaktura in Sweden; but the SBDH is a relatively small document structure that is limited to a single document, and the requirement from BII is support for sending a batch of related documents in a single envelope. PLB: This is especially needed in the tendering phase because all the documents must be encrypted and prevented from being opened until a particular time. So there are specific business requirements -- it's not just a transport issue. RC: Collections of catalogues present other business requirements relating to this. GKH: An enveloping mechanism should be a separate deliverable rather than an addition to the UBL schemas per se. It won't impact our NDRs regarding use of xsd:any if we address this in a separate document. PLB/TM: Our solution should be backward-compatible with UN/CEFACT SBDH and should take advantage of the Swedish experience. We will be building on the existing specification by creating a UBL profile of the SBDH with possibly some extensions. It must be possible to sign the header. GKH: Which means that the header must have its own extension mechanism. TM: We also need to look at functional acknowledgement in connection with this. AGREED that we want to develop a messaging strategy for UBL 2.1 based on work now taking place in the BII Architecture Group and that we will publish it like the digital signature spec as a separate document that will be included in the UBL 2.1 distribution along with a section in the UBL 2.1 document itself. It will be necessary to coordinate with both the BII AG and the new OASIS BDX TC. ACTION: PLB to line up participants for a team to interface with BII and BDX; JB to put this on next week's agenda. AGREED that we will aim to complete this item as part of PRD3 and not aim for its delivery in PRD2. TSC REPORT TM: TSC has reached consensus on the two new document types. There are about a dozen other outstanding issues left to be resolved, but the TSC work is close to being done. DIGITAL SIGNATURES GKH: As noted in the Pacific call, the Security SC has accepted the latest changes. The revised materials for 2.1 may be ready as soon as today. UBL NDR WORK Temporarily on hold. NDR CHECK (NIST TOOL) BH: Still pending. 2011 UBL TC F2F MEETING SCHEDULE 30 May - 3 June 2011 Ankara, Turkey, at Middle Eastern Technical University AGREED that we will aim to have PRD2 completed or at least well underway by the time of this meeting and therefore that the main agenda item for Ankara will be PRD3, including completion of the message envelope work and any items coming out of PRD2. October/November 2011 As we agreed some time ago, GKH is checking to see whether we can secure a meeting venue in Ottawa. (2011.01.05) AGREED to pick this up when GKH returns from a break at the end of March (he will be gone for most of the month). If no more than 4-5 people plan to attend, Crane can host the meeting in Kars. So far we have JB, GKH, and possibly BH intending to participate. Anyone else?
