UBL Conformance to ebXML CCTS ISO/TS 15000-5:2005 describes how UBL 2.1 relates to the ebXML Core Components Technical Specification. Congratulations to TC chairs, Ken Holman and Tim McGrath, to Sponsors, Boeing, NEC, Oracle, and the US Dept of Defense, and to all UBL TC members.
In related news, the TC invites the public to contribute to the OASIS UBL 2.1 International Data Dictionary (IDD). The IDD provides readers of languages other than English with a culturally-sensitive translation of the semantics of UBL business documents and objects. Contributing to the IDD is an interesting and meaningful project for students, interns, or anyone with a need to learn more about UBL.
