Minutes Small Business SC call 17th May 2005

["Stephen Green" <stephen_green@seventhproject.co.uk>]

The UBL Small Business Subcommittee met for

(first) conference call on 17th May 2005

 

Attendees:

Micah Dubinko

Stephen Green

G. Ken Holman

 

This meetings was quorate

 

 

Agenda Item: UBL 1.0 Small Business Subset 1.0-beta Package

 

GKH: the Normative section includes both the RNC and the XSD schemas

- this may need correcting since the RNC schema is presently the normative

one and the XSD is just informative

 

It was agreed that Ken would try to simplify the RNC schema so that

both schemas could define the subset specification XML documents

in the same way and therefore both be normative. This might require

changes to those documents. 

 

Initially it was considered that this would be a pre-cd review and that

the package would not yet be presented as a proposal for a committee

draft. However it was then decided that if the changes could be made as

agreed (with SG making other editorial changes such as adding end-

slashes to links to subdirectories) then the SC could vote to present

the package as a proposed committee draft subject to TC decision and

public review.

 

Agreed: The package changes will be made by Ken and Steve and

posted to the SC list for an internal SC review

 

Agreed: Steve will then ask for an SC vote by post such that if there

were no negative votes then the finished package would be submitted

to the TC as a proposed committee draft for public review and TC

acceptance (or otherwise).

 

Agreed: Schedule would be one or, if there were complications,

perhaps two weeks to completion in the SC.

 

 

Other discussions:

ebBPSS example fragment in the SBS index - this would suffice

for now but in future it might be feasible to provide a set of SBS ebBPSS's

and perhaps schematron versions of the SBS documents

 

HISC / additions of UNLayout-based human-readable labels to the

UBL spreadsheets. If these were included eventually in UBL schemas

then it might be feasible to include them in SBS XML specs too.

The value of such labels in the spreadsheets to HISC efforts was

welcomed as it might make it possible to generate HISC specs

automatically in the future. 

 

Ken and Micah would both be presenting at XTech next week.

 

The meeting was adjourned after an hour
