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

["David Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Duane,

"Syntax independent" is good!

Couple of extra points of note - CEFACT/TMG/CCMA team
is working in this area right now - next meeting - Brussels, Sept.

The OASIS CAM team have also developed mechanisms based
on XML representations of BIE, CCTS, etc
(is that syntax independent?!) that could be output from a
spreadsheet or similar, that the CAM engine can then build
XSD or other structure formats from.  You can download the
XSD for that syntax layout from http://oasis-open.org/committees/cam
and the latest CAM engine is available from http://www.jcam.org.uk

For a simple example just using some US gov NIH transaction dictionary
items see: http://drrw.net/backup/NIH/nounexample-eCGAP.xml
