Revised tools converting CCTS 2.01 models following UBL NDR 3.0 into XSD schemas and CVA assertions

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Fellow UBL-Dev members,

For those of you working with CCTS 2.01 models and following the new 
UBL NDR 3.0 to create XSD schemas and CVA assertions, I have just 
posted updates to the latest freely-downloadable versions of software 
to create the artefacts.  This can be used to create validation 
artefacts for custom extensions for UBL or custom additional 
documents that complement UBL.  I use them myself to create the 
validation artefacts in the OASIS UBL Technical Committee and the 
OASIS Business Document Exchange (BDXR) Technical Committee.

As documented in the UBL NDR 3.0, genericode can be used as a 
tool-independent expression of the components of a CCTS 2.01 model:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/UBL-NDR/v3.0/UBL-NDR-v3.0.html

The UBL committee uses OpenDocument Spreadsheets (.ods files) as the 
way to collaborate regarding the document model contents, and the 
tool that does this collaboratively online is Google Docs.  Here is 
an empty CCTS spreadsheet with which to start creating your own 
document models by saving a copy to your own Google Drive:

Here is the CCTS spreadsheet for UBL 2.1:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iqF8O626Fefd7wSHoXVkiZ15IbdkC3PeKNqjS7Ztbig/view 


Here is the CCTS spreadsheet for the BDXR Business Document Envelope (BDE):

Here is an overview of the use of Google Docs as a collaborative 
environment for CCTS models and creating extensions to UBL or 
additional documents for your UBL deployment:

These are the free tools you can use, first to export genericode from 
a saved .ods file, and then to create the validation artefacts from 
the genericode:

http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/ubl/#gc2ublndr

In the gc2ublndr package there is a stylesheet that checks your 
genericode-expressed document models against the CCTS constraints of 
the UBL NDR 3.0, and also checks for violating any 
backward-compatibility with a previous version of the document models.

Please let me know on-list if you have any questions regarding the 
roles of these tools, so I can answer the questions for all.  Any 
problems experienced with the tools should be directed to me off-list.
