Re: AW: [ubl-comment] cbc:TimeType disappeared since UBL 2.1

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Thank you, Jan, for your question and Philip, for your response to this.

The timing was good so that we, as a committee, 
were able to begin our debate about this request.

Philip is correct, though at the time it wasn't 
considered "dummy".  The thought at the time was 
that a BBIE would be realized for every core 
component type so that extensions could have 
access to a suite of BBIEs that may not already be used in UBL.

That this was overlooked in UBL 2.1 was an 
oversight.  As those BBIEs did not impact on the 
conformance clauses for UBL 2.1 for schema-valid 
instances of UBL 2.0 using the committee 
published schemas, the absence of this suite of "additional" BBIEs was missed.

UBL 2.1 cannot be changed in any way at this point.

Today we began debating including this change in 
UBL 2.2 as a non-substantive change (because it 
does not impact on the conformance clause) so as 
to be included without triggering an additional public review:

  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201711/msg00004.html

As part of the completion of the second public 
review I will update you with our decision in this regard.

Meanwhile, as a work-around for your UBL 2.1, I 
can offer the following suggestion from my 
experience as an implementer (this isn't 
something that I've passed by the committee) that 
follows Philip's observation about UBL 2.0 but 
works for UBL 2.1.  I'm assuming in your extension you currently have:

   <xsd:import 
namespace="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2"
               schemaLocation="UBL-CommonBasicComponents-2.1.xsd"/>

You could replace that with:

   <xsd:import 
namespace="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2"
               schemaLocation="my-common.xsd"/>

And have my-common.xsd read as follows:

<xsd:schema 
xmlns="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2"
            xmlns:udt="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:UnqualifiedDataTypes-2"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
            targetNamespace="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2"
            elementFormDefault="qualified"
            attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
            version="2.1">
   <!-- ===== Includes and imports ===== -->
   <xsd:include schemaLocation="UBL-CommonBasicComponents-2.2.xsd"/>
   <xsd:import 
namespace="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:UnqualifiedDataTypes-2"
               schemaLocation="UBL-UnqualifiedDataTypes-2.2.xsd"/>

   <!-- ===== Element Declarations ===== -->
   <xsd:element name="Time" type="TimeType"/>
   <!-- ===== Type Definitions ===== -->
   <!-- ===== Basic Business Information Entity Type Definitions ===== -->
   <xsd:complexType name="TimeType">
      <xsd:simpleContent>
         <xsd:restriction base="udt:TimeType"/>
      </xsd:simpleContent>
   </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

This would, effectively, add your missing type to 
your extension until you find that it will be 
available in UBL 2.2.  I will ask the committee 
about making a more complete version of this for 
all core component types not already in UBL 2.1 
and making it available in a Committee Note for 
all projects that find themselves in your situation.

Thank you, again, Jan, for bringing this to our attention.
