UN/CEFACT’s position re UBL post its announcement of 21August 2003 
regarding the successful conclusion of the ebXML initiative

UN/CEFACT recognises that the UBL community will be concerned about 
today’s announcement. However, UN/CEFACT remains committed to its 
position as elaborated in an email from Ray Walker, Chair of its 
Steering Group to Jon Bosak, the Chair of the OASIS UBL technical 
committee on 18 July.

Specifically, UN/CEFACT will support only one document-centric approach 
to XML content and its desire is that UBL will be the foundation for 
that approach.

In addition, subject to the agreement of OASIS, the brand UBL will be 
formally recognized in the official UN/CEFACT naming of this product.

We hope that we will be able to use the Seoul UN/CEFACT Forum meeting 
to finalise any remaining detail.
