Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] UBL Processes


Surveys were conducted and I'm not sure whether and where results
were published. e.g. http://xml.coverpages.org/IDA-eProcureSurvey.html
Consultations resulted in lists of requirements submitted to UBL
TC like these http://xml.coverpages.org/IDA-OrderInvoice18083.pdf

Most of the efforts to produce the models behind UBL's coverage
of the e-procurement domain came from consultations of current
requirements of institutions mainly in the public sector. The
requirements were therefore designed to cover all the main order
processes (at least 80% of them as per '80:20 rule') for any
scenario affecting public bodies but with an understanding that
public sector used mainstream order processes. Manufacturing
requirements were compared with the UBL's Order by members of
UBL's Japanese Localisation Sub Committee, mainly relating to
ECALGA, the standard of ECOM (Electronic Commerce Promotion
Council of Japan).

Paperless trade requirements (more for Transport domain than
e-Procurement) were considered as described
here
http://www.dfat.gov.au/publications/paperless/paperless_trading.pdf

I would have thought that the public sector would particularly
use ordering processes related to service provision and there
seems to have been satisfaction that UBL can be used in such a
scenario. An interesting paper seems to show that there was
a potential gap between UBL and support for service procurement
recognised right from the early days of UBL.

Robert Glushko, School of Information Management & System, Berkeley
sought to fill this gap as a study. This, however, was before much
of the public sector consultation work was completed (mainly EU).
