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). see http://www.viewzone.org/abilities/downloads/File/ubl/meeting_bruessel/JPLSC%20Report.ppt http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200502/msg00014.html 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. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/lcsc/doc/ServicesBusinessLanguage-v4.doc 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). -- Stephen D.
