MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING 00H30 - 02H30 UTC TUESDAY 23 AUGUST 2005 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) Stephen Green G. Ken Holman Sylvia Webb STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar (http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm) GKH: SC34 opening plenary Sat 12 November in Atlanta, colocated with XML 2005. Liaison report: Tax XML TC SW: The TC meets Thursday. They are awaiting response from SG or Tim McGrath regarding a question about our definition of tax category: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200508/msg00072.html AGREED that we are looking to the Tax XML TC to tell us what the proper definition should be. This is the kind of feedback we've been looking for. Subcommittee report: HISC GKH: Nothing to report this week. SG: PeterB wants to change the order of the BIEs at the document level but fears that this would affect HISC. GKH: No, the sequential order doesn't matter to XPath. Subcommittee report: SBSC JB: The SBS 1.0 CD has been submitted to OASIS to start the review, and it looks like we're on track to be published this week. GKH: Note point 1 of the input from the Tax XML TC [see URL above]. We need to decide whether SBS should be a Standard. SW: This is about creating guidelines... GKH: In other words, a profile, which in the ISO world is often standardized. SW: The Tax XML TC is concerned because SBS 1.0 does not include some elements that should be mandatory for tax purposes; users could be creating records that lack important tax information. GKH: We can't include new elements in SBS 1.0, because those elements are not in UBL 1.0. SG: We have already included the additional tax elements in UBL 2.0 draft data models, so they will be included in SBS 2.0. AGREED that we are only going as far as Committee Specification for SBS 1.0 and will seek OASIS Standardization for SBS 2.0. JB: Altova wants a stable version of SBS 1.0 by mid-September. Using the CD is fine for this. GKH: But the URNs may change as we go from CD to CS. ACTION: JB to check RFC 3132 to see whether URNs have to change in going from CD to CS. Team report: Digital signatures JB: Peter needs to set up meetings with Thomas Lee. Review of Eurasia and Atlantic TC minutes No meetings were held last week. SCHEMATRON STRATEGY JB: Please tell me again how Schematron works. GKH: Schematron assertions (.sch) are input to XSLT along with the Schematron stylesheet (.xsl). The output of that is another XSLT file (.xsl), which is then run against an XML instance to be validated, and the output of that is a report on the original assertions. CATALOGUE WORKSHOP SG/SW: The work got a long way but didn't finish. TimM will take this offline and hopes that he can soon finish the data model, so it appears certain that we will receive a catalogue submission. We also worked on finishing off the new phase 1 documents. JB: That work needs to transition to the PSC now. SW: Some people we thought would participate are not OASIS members. ACTION: Someone to tell Leitch and Benson that they have to join OASIS in order to be on the PSC. [SW later took care of this.] SW: We need to finish the models in the next two weeks in order to get them into the phase 1 review cycle. SG: We cannot add new requirements at this point, and we can only add extensions to the existing model, not restrictions. We haven't gotten the input we need from OGC yet. SW: All additions must be done through formal submissions to the PSC and approved by the TC. SG: The additions could come in during the public review, but OGC needs to understand that they can have no assurance that these things will be approved by the TC. ACTION: Sylvia to arrange a PSC meeting ASAP. SG: PeterB has taken over phase 1 spreadsheet editing as part of PSC. JB: My understanding is that PB is solely responsible for editing the spreadsheets and BettyH is solely responsible for checking them into EF. SG: We need to make sure that every change is logged separately, not just noted in the spreadsheets. JB: If PB can't do this, then we will have to designate someone to create the change log. SG: And if we can't do that, then it would be better to log the changes and have SG do the spreadsheet work offline. [I.e., not a desireable outcome, but better than having the changes made to the spreadsheets without a separate change log.] CONTENT WORK AND FUNCTION OF THE PACIFIC TC CALLS AGREED that we will keep holding the Pacific TC calls (a) for coordination purposes, (b) so that people can maintain voting status, and (c) in the future as a venue for Q/A work. With content work moving to the PSC and TSC, the calls should be shorter for a while until we get to the Q/A work. SG: Cannot attend next week. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
