Subject: RE: [ubl-dev] Customizing where 'Simpler-Than-UBL' (STU) is needed
Ken and Steve, This is indeed an interesting moment in time and space. Let me try and summarize and unravel the XML knot here. 1) UBL is defined as a set of XSD schemas - to which things have to be conformant. 2) Payloads are in XML format 3) Steve has a subset that uses the same UBL entities and constructs and approach as the regular schemas (the Lego bricks if we will) Now - Conformant is driven by 1) - however something may be Compatible with 1) - e.g. using 3) if there is a simple transformation that can be applied that renders 2) as something that will pass 1). I believe that is what we are seeing here - not strict conformance - but compatible with - hence its UBL-ish -while not being exactly UBL as per the v2.0 XSD. However - I think Steve's point is that its still in the spirit of and compatible with UBL since its using all the same "Lego" - but just is simpler for people to do 2) - and handle the XML payloads. From the CCTS stance of course - Steve is correct - the XML is just a rendering - so being compatible with the CCTS model of UBL can take many forms - even EDI instances!?!?
