Re: [ubl] Minutes of Nov 26, 2003 and agenda for Dec 3, 2003

Hello CLSC,

I have a little more information regarding the item below.

 - The responsible standards body is TC184/SC4.  Its focus is
   industrial and product data.  Here are two pointers:

      www.tc184-sc4.org
      www.tc184-sc4.org/About_TC184-SC4/About_SC4_Standards/

   The second one gives an overview of the SC4 work.

 - SC4 does not appear to have produced an XML framework for code
   lists upon which we can draw directly, but they have done a lot
   of thinking about vocabularies in areas such as materials
   handling and process control.  We should submit our code list
   catalogue to SC4 via the MoU/MG to see whether SC4 has content
   to contribute.

 - This appears to be a joint CLSC and LCSC item; for tracking
   purposes, I'm assigning it a coordination issue label of
   "2004-0109-01 Code list input from SC4."

vacation with my family all this week (5-11 January 2004).  I may
or may not be able to respond to mail while on vacation; response
times will be erratic at best.  From 13-18 January I will be out
of email range entirely but will catch up on all mail as quickly
as possible beginning 19 January.

   Hello CLSC,

   Haven't had time to come up to speed at all on the inputs you've
   already got, but I'm obligated to tell you that there seems to be
   one more.  When I reported on the formation of the CLSC to the IEC
   ISO ITU UN/ECE eBusiness MoU Management Group last week (UBL is on
   their continuing agenda), I was informed by MoU/MG chair Howard
   Mason that many years of work have already been invested in this
   area by STEP (automated manufacturing).  He promised to send me a
   pointer, but either he hasn't gotten to that yet or I haven't
   caught up with it in my mail queue.  I'll get that to you as soon
   as I can, but I just wanted to let you know in the meantime that
   there appears to be a bit more grist for your mill.

   Jon
