RE: [ubl-dev] Custom order information

Thanks for your replies.

I just started to investigate UBL and was just wondering about this
particular issue of how to include non-standard ordering information.
Customization of the schemas is probably then the best way to go using as
much as possible to the already existing types as Kenneth already pointed
out.

This brings me to another question.

For a new project we are going to use UBL to establish an ordering interface
between two parties. These parties have agreed on what information is to be
supplied in the order XML and also what not to supply.

What's now the best approach?
* customize the UBL schemas where:
  - superfluous optional fields are removed
  - some optional field are made mandatory
* use the standard UBL schemas and execute extra validation rules upon
receipt of the order XML?

Thanks in advance,
Franck
