Re: [ubl-fpsc] FPSC responsibilities regarding code lists

Hi

I don't know much about it (which might force me to keep things simple which might be good) but in producing sample instances, I would like to merely use the UNECE guidelines at: http://www.unece.org/etrades/unedocs/codelistintegration.htm
(I really love their site with its webservices and all)

We need to prove that things can be kept fairly simple.

Maybe I'll have changed my tune by the time I've tried adding codelists to the instances. 

Should codelist data appear in the forms? I would have thought a simple drop down box in an input form is the best way to demo a codelist but we aren't at the stage of input forms yet. As far as a display form is concerned, I don't see that codelists make any difference, except that we might want to display both the code and the codelist scheme name in some way. I would think that a typical sample implementation would be limited to the use of just one scheme (same as used on UN eDocs site) so the codelist scheme name might be just displayed as explanatory text on the form beside the code. 

All the best

Steve

Hello all,

This is input into our discussion Thursday regarding code lists ... we have 
to try and think up what it means to say regarding a code list "how it 
looks and works", and what readers of our formatting specifications need to 
know about code lists.

If someone thinks they have a good handle on what we could say, could they 
step forward and volunteer to write a position paper from FPSC for us all 
to review?

I'm not sure what more we could say than "the schema defines an enumeraton 
that is available to be used when presenting information that include coded 
values".  This discussion would be separate from stylesheets, as a 
stylesheet fragment that "implemented" code lists would be created out of 
what we say in FPSC regarding code lists.

Please speak up if you can think of anything!

Thanks ................... Ken
