Re: [ubl-dev] Syntax neutral definition of inherited BIEs

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@adobe.com>]

Juha:

I prefer to use the term "syntax independent" for this functionality as 
I think it is more accurate.  Anytime you write something down, even in 
excel, it has a syntax.  What I suspect you are really after is an 
expression of something that is not specifically bound to only being 
represented in one syntax.

We did a pilot for the Canadian Government that bound syntax neutral 
CC's and BIE's to XML schema, based on a set of 8 context values.  The 
process used a generic XML declaration of the data elements properties 
in a metadata facility and wrote out two valid XML schemas, each one 
contextually different, based on the context driver values.

If you are interested in the information, please contact me offline.
