Subject: UBL 2.1 begins 30-day OASIS Public Review
Hello UBL developers and other interested parties, The second formal public review of UBL 2.1 begins tomorrow; see the notice below. This draft was submitted to OASIS on 30 May, but personnel and process changes at OASIS have put us far behind our original schedule, which assumed that all comments would be received and ready for processing at the upcoming UBL TC meeting in Kars 19-23 September. Since the public review period does not end till 24 September, this is technically no longer possible. As a practical matter, however, we can still keep to our schedule if all UBL stakeholders make it a point to review the draft and send us their comments as early as possible. Note that the draft itself has been available to you since June: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-dev/201106/msg00003.html As usual, for legal reasons all comments MUST come in to us through the comment button on the UBL TC page as described in the notice below. One need not be an OASIS member to submit comments. This release introduces the UBL TC's first standardized extension, which enables W3C XML Dsig digital signatures "out of the box" and supports advanced digital signature protocols such as XAdES. Off-the-shelf signature validation tools should be able to confirm digital signatures added to UBL documents (an example is included in the package). The committee is anxious to get feedback on the experiences of users adding signatures in conformance with the specification. UBL users who have not looked into our work since UBL 2.0 may also be interested in the inclusion of RNC schemas and the provision of a set of HTML reports that greatly enhance the ability to understand and navigate the UBL data models. UBL 2.0 users should also know that 2.1 schemas will validate UBL 2.0 instances, so stakeholders who have invested in UBL 2.0 should be able to work directly with UBL 2.1. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ubl] 30-day Public Review for Universal Business Language Version 2.1 Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 15:04:47 -0400 From: chet.ensign@oasis-open.org To: tc-announce@lists.oasis-open.org, ubl@lists.oasis-open.org, members@lists.oasis-open.org, oasis-board-comment@lists.oasis-open.org, tab@lists.oasis-open.org, carol.geyer@oasis-open.org The Universal Business Language (UBL) TC members [1] have produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for 30-day public review: Universal Business Language Version 2.1 Committee Specification Draft 02 / Public Review Draft 02 30 May 2011 Specification Overview: UBL, the Universal Business Language, is the product of an international effort to define a royalty-free library of standard electronic XML business documents such as purchase orders and invoices. Developed in an open and accountable OASIS Technical Committee with participation from a variety of industry data standards organizations, UBL is designed to plug directly into existing business, legal, auditing, and records management practices, eliminating the re-keying of data in existing fax- and paper-based supply chains and providing an entry point into electronic commerce for small and medium-sized businesses. This specification defines the Universal Business Language, version 2.1 Public Review Period: The public review starts Friday, 26 August 2011 and ends 24 September 2011. The specification was previously submitted for a 60-day public review on 25 September 2010 [2]. This review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review. Changes are detailed in section B.3.4 of the Committee Specification Draft. This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
