UBL LCSC Minutes
Tuesday - 4 March 2003
Attendees: Tim McGrath, Lisa Seaburg, Marion Royal, Bill Meadows, Monica Martin, Sally Chan, Kurt Conrad, Anne Hendry, Peter Yim and Debbie Quezadaz.
1. Welcome and appointment of secretary to take minutes. - Anne will take minutes.
2. Acceptance of previous minutes - We did not have a quorum, therefore this item was postponed.
3. Work Plan for 1p00 release.
NOTE: There are only 6 weeks between now and the review cutoff date.The revised schedule has now been posted. It is available at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-lcsc/200303/msg00005.html.
- Analysis report (Sue)
- Modeling report (Mike)
Both Sue and Mike are traveling.
Tim will follow up with them regarding the white paper that Mike is creating and the analysis modeling work that Sue is driving. These deliverables are due this week so we may need to push that schedule back.
QA Team Report - Marion
- 0p70 review comments to date We have received several new comments in the past week. Bill will put those in the working directory.
- HL7 comment disposition (Tim) Tim is reviewing the previous HL7 comments.
- LC and NDR review processes NDR's timeframe requires that they review NDR comments earlier than LCSC had planned to review LCSC comments. Tim is ok with giving NDR comments straight to NDR, then, so they can meet their target, which is to produce the UBL Naming and Design Rules 1.0 Committee Specification, by the end of the F2F.
We will separate the ndr-specific comments onto a different page of the comment spreadsheet so they can be handled by the NDR QA Team within their timeframe according to their own process. LCSC will not need to be concerned with the NDR comments. Since Lisa is on both teams she will facilitate this process. Her presence on both teams will be especially helpful if some comments overlap the boundaries of both SCs. Lisa will ask the NDR QA Team to join the Friday LCSC QA calls.
Tim mentioned that the OASIS process has specific guidelines and that anything sent out under the TC umbrella will be voted on by the entire TC - there are no provisions in the OASIS process for recognizing separate subcommittees as independent entities. The NDR release will be a UBL specification and the constituency will be entire TC, so this needs to be considered.
Lisa reviewed the latest process as discussed in last week's QA meeting. For details, see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-lcsc/200303/msg00001.html The minutes will have a link to the speadsheet .
- Marion asked to have the comment category 'Editorial' added.
4. Reports on other UBL SCs
- NDR (Lisa) We've given ouselves a timefrom of the next 7 weeks to finalize the NDR documents and review through the NDR SC and then present these to the UBL TC. Not certain if the review is planned for the beginning, middle, or end of the F2F, but we are trying to finish the sections before the F2F.
Tim mentioned that the new LCSC schedule has a tenative pathway for the 1.0 Specification to go to public review in early June. If this is the same timeframe as the NDR schedule, then it might be useful to have the NDR team review the LCSC schedule. The OASIS process allows the TC to decide when to send things out for review. The minimum review cycle length, though, is 30 days.
- Liaison (Anne/Tim) UIG has developed an extensive collection of transaction sets for managing deregulated energy and implementation guidelines and, more importantly, preliminary XML documents. They thought it would be productive to review those with someone deeply familiar with the UBL framework. Spend 1/2 - 1 day with someone reviewing UBL and how it might be used in their context, how it relates to the work they are doing.
The meeting is concurrent with the X12 meeting in Nashville, June 1-3. Lisa would be willing to go but there and it is close to where she lives. Tim will work with Jon, Lisa, and Leon to see what can be worked out.
5. Other Business
Proposal for UBL Ontology Project (Peter/Kurt)See http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-lcsc/200303/msg00006.html for related information on the proposed ontology group project w/r/t the UBL 0p70 release.
The original ontology discussion began within LCSC. Several members of the UBL TC are participants and the Ontology group encourages participation of UBL TC members. A recent proposal has been made to take the UBL Library and put it in a formal ontology to learn about ontologies, about developing lifecycle sytems. Definitely want expertise in the team - those contributing to the uml effort and modeling would be closest to this. We hope members from LCSC and NDR can participate and eventually have UBL ready for the semantic web. Now that UBL has body of work that is stable this is a good time to do this. It overlaps and complements the work Mike is doing in the modeling area and merging with the context work. Perhaps this proposed work can focus and gel the modeling work. This is a great community and we would all benefit from collaboration in this area. The Ontology group would particulrly like to have participants with slightly differing viewpoints.
Do we have the latest 0p65 comments?
Tim to check his files for latest version.
