Ken Holman Tim McGrath Sylvia Webb STANDING ITEMS Calendar review: http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm No new items, but note that neither TM nor TL will be available for the ebXML Asia Committee meeting 27-29 October. Event reports (see calendar) None. Liaison reports Tax XML Liaison Team: SW is in the process of scheduling a conference call for the week of 10/25 that will be reported at the TC meeting in Santa Clara. Four people from the Tax XML TC have volunteered to participate, including the chair of the U.S. XBRL group. HISC report GKH: Nothing new; has not heard from Fabio and has not yet implemented the proposed new meeting schedule. [SSC report: covered as part of EDIFIX discussion] TBG17 Liaison Team report EDIFIX (EF) DISCUSSION TM: From the UBL customizer's point of view, the primary interface will still be the spreadsheets. The use of EF will be primarily for two purposes: 1. to hold the definitive copy of the UBL library, so all future development of UBL will have to filter into that; and 2. to generate schemas from the definitive model, which means that within the UBL TC there will need to be a custodian/librarian to maintain it, including the shipping in and out of spreadsheets as required. JB: The normative pieces will still have to be the schemas and the generated spreadsheets; the internal format is proprietary. TM: The published things will all be generated by the tool, so there will never be the possibility that the spreadsheets will differ from the schemas. Agreed: Gating factors for using the tool include (1) ensuring a guaranteed concordance between the generated schemas and the generated spreadsheets and (2) continued ability to support input spreadsheets. The round-tripping exercise suggested by MD is necessary to establish this. GEFEG will try to honor requests for enhancements to the input spreadsheets, but we can't expect total support for any arbitrary change that might occur to us. Agreed: We can accept the proposal to use EF for UBL 1.1. OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION THIS MEETING UBL TC meeting in Santa Clara Add to agenda: Spreadsheet alignment and EF familiarization Add to agenda: Request for participation from HISC Attendance in person and by phone: Already noted that TM and GKH can't attend. Try to schedule some plenary sessions for dial-in from Asia starting around 4 p.m. in Santa Clara. [Actually, the morning time requested for this in Asia would be 3 p.m. in Santa Clara, because the U.S. will be reverting to Standard Time the morning before the meeting begins.] Addition of new items to the work list None. Other business In accordance with the decision to skip the 27 October Atlantic call and in recognition of two meetings in Asia that will occupy the attention of several Pacific call participants that week, we will skip the 28 October Pacific call as well. TM and GKH will not be available for the 21 October call, but JB will attempt a short meeting anyway. Anyone needing to check in from Asia-Pacific should dial in at the beginning so that the meeting can end early if possible. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
