Subject: 15-day Public Review for Universal Business Language v2.1


The OASIS Universal Business Language TC members [1] have produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for 15-day public review:

Universal Business Language Version 2.1
Committee Specification Draft 3 / Public Review Draft 3
23 February 2013

Specification Overview:

This specification defines the Universal Business Language (UBL), version 2.1. UBL is a generic XML interchange format for business documents that can be restricted or extended to meet the requirements of particular industries. This version includes 65 business documents used in the procurement and transportation domains (e.g.: invoices, purchase orders, waybills, transportation status messages, etc.). 

TC Description: 

The OASIS Universal Business Language technical committee is defining a royalty-free library of standard electronic XML business documents for various domains. Development is with participation from a variety of industry data standards organizations. UBL is designed to plug directly into existing business, legal, auditing, and records management practices, eliminating the re-keying of data in existing fax- and paper-based supply chains and providing an entry point into electronic commerce for small and medium-sized businesses. 

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 18 March 2013 and ends 02 April 2013. The specification was previously submitted for public review [2]. This 15-day review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review. Changes are documented in Appendix B.3.5 [3]. 

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
