Summary of UBL-1.0 Small Business Subset version 0.5

["Stephen Green" <stephen_green@bristol-city.gov.uk>]

-------------------------------------
UBL 1.0 Small Business Subset
-------------------------------------


version 0.5
-------------


[The message provides a single reference for published
artefacts for UBL 1.0 SBS 0.5]


The subset leads to instances compliant with the
UBL 1.0 cd (specification) Schemas so XSD Schemas
are, in this subset version, not part of its specification.
In other words, no new namespaces are defined.


Subset Definition Files
--------------------------

The subset is comprised of elements and attributes listed
by their XPath addresses in files posted at the following
url.

zip: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-hisc/200501/bin00000.bin
(file may be downloaded, saved and renamed with extension .zip
before opening as a zipped file)

The covering message for this distribution is found at:
 http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-hisc/200501/msg00010.html


Example / Template Files
------------------------------

The following sets of examples of filled and empty 
UBL 1.0 SBS 0.5 compliant documents are available:

Examples with local filename Schema locations:

zip: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-dev/200501/zip00000.zip

Examples with full persistent UBL urls for Schema locations:

zip: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-dev/200501/zip00003.zip

Note: the urls of the latter files point to the fully documented Schemas
of UBL 1.0

The subset example files do not indicate where elements
are repeatable and for this references should be made to
the UBL 1.0 specification and Schemas. No cardinalities
are resticted in UBL 1.0 SBS 0.5


Acknowledgments

The subset was modelled by Stephen Green based on both
the original development of UBL up to version 1.0 and with
special reference to the e-procurement model of the HM UK
Government Office of Government Commerce

The subset was temporarily defined in XSD using XML Spy (2005)
courtesy of Altova (UBL TC licence), MS WordPad and the UBLish tool (see below):

The XPath subset definition were generated by G.Ken Holman
from the intermediary Schemas.
