Draft uDT and qDT Spreadsheets

["Sylvia Webb" <swebb@gefeg.com>]

Dear All,

During the last UBL Pacific call, GEFEG was asked to provide technical
expertise and resources to create the uDT and qDT data models and
spreadsheets for UBL 2.0.

The attached spreadsheets are the output from the data models. They need
further review and completion for notes and any other omissions. My focus
was on content and not the descriptions and definitions.

The following changes were made:

uDT:

1. The sequence of the sc's in the UBL spreadsheet was not the same as the
sequence in the annexes of CCTS. We feel that this is important for

a) end user applications,

b) future syntaxes that UBL might support with additional NDR and

c) to make life easier for users who refer to both the CCTS documentation
and UBL documentation (look and feel).

qDT:

1. In the older draft qDT spreadsheets, UBL added sc's to the uDT's.

These are removed now in order to be compliant with ATG2 uDT's.

2. UBL has the option of leaving these sc's in. If this option is chosen,
UBL must warn developers and users, that whatever they do with these added
sc's, their work will not go into the UBL XSD schemas.

3. We stored the possessive etc. information, which does not go into XSD
schema, in order to have the UBL models consistent.

Please respond to the list with any comments additions, or corrections that
need to be made. The PSC will consolidate these into a revised draft
spreadsheet that can be used to update the EDIFIX data models.

Regards,

Sylvia
