Hi list,
As far as I know, the UBL Data Dictionary is contained in the spreadsheets located at the “mod” folder of UBL Specification ZIP Package, and it contains “all” the same information about the structure of UBL documents
that the XML Schemas.
In second place, the genericode files (UBL-Entities-2.1.gc) contains the same information that the spreadsheets, but using the genericode format to represent the spreadsheet rows and columns.
Well, now I’m trying to use the information stored in the genericode files to navigate the UBL document structure and understand the parent child relationships between elements, but I can’t find how to do it.
Let me show an example:
If I want to know the child elements of Order, I search for the rows with the value “UBL-Order-2.1” in the column UBLName. Now, I want to know the child elements of one of this elements, like BuyerCustomerParty, but I
can’t find how to do it, neither the children of its children and so on.
My questions are:
-
Are my suppositions about the genericode and XML Schemas true?
-
Am I taking the right path to find the parent/child relationships?
-
Is there any documentation that explains how to find those relationships?
Thank you very much for all your help,
William David Velásquez Ramírez.
