D.3

[John Larmouth <j.larmouth@salford.ac.uk>]

Lisa,

I have reviewed D.3:

 >>>>>>>>>>>

D.3 ASN.1 Specification of UBL

The following is an ASN.1 specification of the UBL transfer formats using ASN.1.

It provides an alternative XML Schema definition for the XML documents which 
defines the same valid XML documents as the XSD Schema, which is the primary 
definition of valid XML documents.

Use of this Schema enables ASN.1 tools to be used for UBL transfers.

This schema, in conjunction with the ASN.1 Packed Encoding Rules, provides an 
efficient encoding of the information in this specification, and is the 
definitive definition of such binary transfers.

The following is the ASN.1 definition for the current release of UBL: 
asn/asn1spec.html

Paul will provide the asn/asn1spec.html file,  but I think is still awaiting a 
final version of the XSD specs.

The following are some minor editorial changes that I would propose to D.3:

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>

D.3 ASN.1 Specification of UBL

UBL also provides an ASN.1 sepecification for UBL messages that provides an 
alternative XML schema definition for the XML documents.  This ASN.1 
specification defines the same valid XML documents as the XSD Schema, which is 
the primary definition of valid XML documents.

Use of this ASN.1 XML schema enables ASN.1 tools to be used for UBL transfers, 
and in conjunction with the ASN.1 Packed Encoding Rules, provides a 
specification for an efficient "binary XML" encoding of UBL messages.

It is the defnitive definition of binary XML encodings of UBL messages.

The ASN.1 definition for the current release of UBL can be found at: 
asn/asn1spec.html

Thanks.
