Subject: [codelist] Comment from UN/CEFACT ICG on code list sets


               *** WARNING ***

This mail has originated outside your organization, either from an
external partner or the Global Internet. 
     Keep this in mind if you answer this message. 

Last week, I attended the UN/CEFACT Forum in Stockholm.  At that forum,
I met with two UN/CEFACT permanent groups to discuss their possible use
of genericode.  The groups were ATG2 (responsible for XML standards) and
ICG (responsible for repositories and publishing).

ATG2 is looking at genericode as a way to allow them to avoid embedding
externally-controlled enumerations in their Schemas.  ICG has decided to
trying encoding all of its code lists in genericode, with the aim of
having this done for the next quarterly forum, so that it can make a
decision on whether to publish in genericode.

One thing ICG asked for is a modification to genericode "code list
sets", so that a single code list set document can recursively contain
multiple code list sets.  ICG's requirement is to be able to publish
details of multiple sets of code lists within a single document.

I am proposing to make this change for the 2nd public review of
genericode, since it is backwards compatible.  I am posting this to the
CLRTC comments list so that anyone who wishes can comment on this
proposal.  Please post all replies to the comments list
(codelist-comment@lists.oasis-open.org).

Cheers, Tony.
