Re: [ubl-dev] Recomendations for creating a UBL subset xsd

[Stephen Green <stephengreenubl@gmail.com>]

Yes, manually. Took some time but I knew the schemas
because I was in charge of creating the official UBL ones
(as co-chair of software SC) and I had already put lots of
effort into the UBL 1.0 Small Business Subset the same


way, manually. I suggest using a tool if you don't have a
thorough knowledge of the schamas. Or you could take 
mine and see what I did using something like a diff tool
and then do the same some more to get what you need


(you could hand paste a lot of UBL back into the subset
schemas if you know what you're doing). It's quite
therapeutic :-)

Stephen,

 

How did you create that subset? Did you just manually create the xsd files?

 

Thanks

Jeremy

Also, if you want to start with some existing subset work you
are welcome to grab a copy of a subset I put together called
Systml2 which you can find as part of a (dormant) sourceforge
project called 'xforms4ubl'. The set of schemas is found here:

http://xforms4ubl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xforms4ubl/Schemata/

If the GPL licence is a problem I'm happy for you to licence
any derivative schemas any way you like - they're only schemas
after all, arguably not code as such.

It might provide a good basis or a comparison to see your subset
doesn't exclude anything essential. I'd like to create rules for what
a subset should not exclude but that's for another day...

Good luck

Does anyone have any recommendations for generating a UBL subset? I have read the UBL Guideline for Customization and am interested creating a subset similar to how the NES project group has. I have looked at using UBLish to generate a subset using modified Excel spreadsheets but the "To Schema" options are disabled.

 

This gives me an opportunity to plug my "Practical Universal Business Language Deployment" PDF book:

 http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#publd-dl

... because there is a free adjunct to the book that allows the user to specify an XSD subset of UBL by using OpenOffice 3 spreadsheets:

 http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/sales/Crane-UBLProfile

After specifying the subset by clicking what you want and what you don't want and what new cardinalities you need, you can emit an HTML summary for review.  When you have reviewed the summary for appropriateness, you check a checkbox and it emits a subset XSD conforming to your specification.

This is the student tool that I use in the UBL classroom when I teach the customization of UBL (the second day of the two-day class):

 http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/publd/publdsyl.htm

The classroom handouts are derived from the book.

Purchasing details are linked through here, where you can choose an individual license, a geographic site staff license, or a worldwide staff license:

 http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/training/#buy

Note that the purchase of any edition of the book grants perpetual no-charge updates to all future editions of the book and the associated tool.  This is the third edition of the UBL book ... early customers of my XSLT book have had twelve no-charge updates over the years.

I hope this helps.
