Minutes of the OASIS CIQ TC Meeting Date: 10 December 2003 Time: 10:00am Venue: Pennsylvania Convention Centre, Philadelphia Attendees: Ram Kumar, cHAIR, OASIS CIQ TC, Australia David Webber, OASIS CAM TC Chair and CIQ TC member, USA Mark Meadows, Microsoft Corporation, CIQ TC Member, USA Joe Lubenow, CIQ TC Member, USA Martin Roberts, BT, OASIS CAM TC Member, UK John Glaubitz, Vertex Inc, CIQ TC and TaxML TC Member Apologies: Rob Beauchamp, Journee Software, USA Ram discussed in detail where things have been with the OASIS CIQ TC in terms of implementation of the specifications around the world and how difficult in has been to track the use of the specifications. Recent uses of the specifications include UBL, UK Army serving in Iraq, VISA International, etc. Ram also mentioned that the feedback about CIQ specifications have been pretty positive and al this stage there is no requirement to change the specifications as it is being stable for the past 1.5 years. The attendees agreed with this unanimously. Ram said that however, he is collecting the requirements for the next version of the specifications. Ram gave the following suggestions on what he is thinking about taking CIQ specification to the next stage: - Use NDR of UBL to re-define the CIQ specifications - Define an xNAL lite version for simple use of name and address stuctures - Define an xNAL enterprise for complex use of name and address structures - Define xNAL APIs. Ram then asked the attendees what they felt should be done next with the CIQ specifications. Ram also mentioned that UBL has only partially implemented the specifications which was disappointing. David Webber then showed an example of why UBL address is not truly international and why they will run into problems due to this in the future. However, Martin said that UBL allows anyone to incopororate any address structure as a core component provided that core component follows the NDR of UBL. John Glaubitz told that he will promote CIQ strongly with the Tax XML TC to adopt it as the specification for name and address as Global name and address structures are extremely important for specifications like Tax. Martin suggested that the xNAL specifications should be submitted as a draft to ISO for consideration as an ISO standard. Everyone agreed with the idea. Ram volunteered to follow this up with Karl Best of OASIS to see what process is required to do this. Martin also suggested that a data dictionary for CIQ should be created that will enable users to see different terms being used and understand them better. Joe Lubenow was keen that Ram and he should write a joint paper on address elements and Ram agreed to it. Ram advised the committee that he will start the process of gathering some requirements for the next version of CIQ and will be working closely with Max Voskob on this. David Webber then explained how CAM can be used as a template to customise CIQ specification for different applications. David and Martin then spent some time explaining how CAM works. Following were the action items: - Ram to follow up with Karl Best regarding taking CIQ specifications to ISO - David Webber to send a simple example of processing addresses with CAM - Martin and David to send a template of data dictionary for use by CIQ - Ram and Joe to write a white paper on Address elements. The meeting was ajourned at 1:00pm.
