1. the UBL definitions start almost with lower case, but some
(less than 10%) with an upper case. This is inconsistent. Where can I find the
applicable rule in the NDR? And what shall I do in respect of UBL 1.0
Final?
There is currently no rule. I assume that by definitions you mean
the narrative definition of the BIE. My presumption would be that they
should all start with an upper case. Lisa and Mavis - your
thoughts?
2. The current schema draft of Stephen (and Beta
as well) always shows 'GUID' which is derived from Globally Unique Identifier.
But the list of approved abbreviations does not include this expression.
That's why we did not implement it and EF50 produces GloballyUniqueID instead.
Will this expression became part of the NDR list of approved abbreviations for
UBL 1.0 Final? If not, what shall we do here?
GUID must be approved by UBL before it can
be used in the schema (GNR4). GUID must be carefully considered before approval (GNR5). GUID
must appear in the Pocket Oxford English Dictionary as the preferred
abbreviation (GNR6) before it can be approved. Based on the forgoing,
GloballyUniqueID is correct.

As promised here are the Schemas, all valid,
which I
have just generated using the UBLish tool -
many
thanks to our friend Chin Chee-Kai (cc'd
here).
These keep the rules about splitting reusable
into
CommonAggregateType (cat:) and
CommonBasicType
(cbt:). Please would someone point out any
rules
they don't keep which they should.
All the best
Steve
