Subject: Minutes of Pacific UBL TC call 5|6 December 2005
MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING 00H30 - 02H30 UTC TUESDAY 6 DECEMBER 2005 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) Stephen Green G. Ken Holman Tim McGrath (vice chair) Andy Schoka Kumar Sivaraman STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm None. Subcommittee report: SBSC TM: A group of consultants in Australia has developed UML models based on the SBS -- nothing that changes the semantics of UBL, just a subset of the full UBL model -- to represents how CEFACT is planning to express core components. They have obtained permission from the Australian government to allow us to include the diagrams in the SBS package. See http://govdex.gov.au . AGREED to add these diagrams to the SBS package in advance of the next public review. JB: Several comments on the SBS: 1. In the PDF version, the URLs to subsidiary documents don't resolve. We don't have to get this fixed right now, but we will have to deal with it before final publication. 2. The document says: It is intended that any party wishing to limit their own UBL implementation to the Small Business Subset (SBS) SHOULD indicate this in their trading partner agreements (or the equivalent) with the relevant UBL schema URI and URL and with the URI and URL associated with the respective Small Business Subset definition document. But a URL *is* a URI. So this passage needs to be reworded. 3. The SBSC needs to at least revisit the use of SHOULD/SHOULD NOT vs. MUST/MUST NOT in section 2.1. In particular, the use of SHOULD in the lead sentence of 2.1 to refer to "normative business rules" needs to be confirmed. Perhaps the SBSC can define the meaning of compliance with regard to the SBS. 4. The spreadsheets should be made available in ODF as well as Excel format. AGREED that the SBSC will consider this input before completing SBS CD2. AGREED that it's OK to put out the SBS for an informal review over the winter break and then proceed immediately to formal review as soon as possible thereafter. Liaison report: UN/CEFACT JB: The negotiating team meets Wednesday morning to consider OASIS input. TM: It's going to be difficult to plan for the coordination with TMG and ATG now that we no longer have liaisons tracking the CCTS and ATG2 activities. JB: Let's bring this up in the UN/UBL call Wednesday. Liaison report: X12 KS: The new chair is still busy; we'll check back with him later. Subcommittee report: HISC GKH: In Ottawa, we modified the output specs for the eight UBL doc types to reflect our new box-oriented approach to layout; could we extend this to the new doc types at the meeting in Manhattan? JB: Not without your participation. This is part of the Support Package, so it can wait till you come back. Team report: Code Lists GKH: Still committed to finish all the way to a committee draft before taking leave. TM: The NDRs have to be revised to reflect MartyB's proposed change before we can generate schemas. If his testing [see last week's Atlantic minutes] isn't done in time or doesn't work out, we'll have to default to no change for this round of schema generation. [See action item under the next heading.] Subcommittee reports: PSC and TSC TM: The PSC and TSC are aiming to freeze semantics 12/9 and then proceed to merging the two sets of models. Delivery of the merged set is hoped for 12/16, at which point we can begin generating schemas for the review. JB: We can't do that till the NDR document has been revised. ACTION: JB to check with NDR editors regarding NDR document revision. TM: If all goes well, we could have all the materials for a review package the week of 19 December, before the break. JB: At which time we can put those out to our stakeholders for a sanity check. TM: And then put the package together the week of 2 January. JB: Which would still allow us to turn our attention to the Support Package at the meeting in Manhattan. Team report: Digital Signatures TM: Our proposed method of dealing with digsigs is to adopt the proposal for Document Reference. Review of Atlantic call No comments. Schedule review http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200511/msg00062.html See under PSC/TSC above. ACTION ITEM REVIEW ACTION: SG to send mail to MHB and JosteinF asking for assistance with subsetting Catalogue for SBS 2.0. Done; no response. ACTION: AS to review the SBS to see whether the methodology is applicable to USDOT subsetting. Already taken care of. ACTION: JB to continue looking for XForms support. JB: It appears that BR will be taking this on. ACTION: TM to post the Document Reference proposal to the list. TM: Have posted this, need comments by 9 December. ACTION: SG and SW to create a UBL UDT spreadsheet that describes everything in the ATG2 UDT schema, ignoring what UBL currently has for UDT and QDT, and then create the UBL QDT using the same structure. Still pending. ACTION: SG and SW to manually update the CC parameter schema. "SG: Atlantic call decided not to import the module. SW: We need to see this reflected in the NDRs." From which it appears that this should be shifted to the Atlantic agenda. ACTION: JB to include this point in his check with the NDR editors. OTHER BUSINESS AGREED that we will hold the Pacific TC call 12/13 and 12/20 as regularly scheduled, skip 12/27, and resume as usual 1/3. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
