Subject: 30-day Public Review for Universal Business Language Version 2.1


The Universal Business Language (UBL) TC members [1] have produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for 30-day public review:

Universal Business Language Version 2.1
Committee Specification Draft 02 / Public Review Draft 02
30 May 2011

Specification Overview:
UBL, the Universal Business Language, is the product of an international effort to define a royalty-free library of standard electronic XML business documents such as purchase orders and invoices. Developed in an open and accountable OASIS Technical Committee 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.

This specification defines the Universal Business Language, version 2.1

Public Review Period:
The public review starts Friday, 26 August 2011 and ends 24 September 2011. The specification was previously submitted for a 60-day public review on 25 September 2010 [2]. This review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review. Changes are detailed in section B.3.4 of the Committee Specification Draft.

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.
