RE: [ubl] Understanding code list declarations

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

Will there be a corresponding set of schema expressions with the
end-of-February support package?

This is a good question. Maybe it should be added to the agenda for
discussion on Wednesday. Unfortunately, I will not be available on Wednesday
to participate on the call, but from a FX viewpoint, updated schema can be
generated quickly if there are updated spreadsheets.

Regards,
Sylvia

My processes are all triggered on the schema expressions, so I could change
all references that are to CurrencyCodeType (the simpleType) to be
CurrencyCodeContentType (the complexType) in my local copy of the schema
expressions, but then the work that I produce wouldn't match the working
draft 2.0 schemas that are out there today.

Fine .... I do not need *finalized* schemas but are there more up-to-date
draft schemas with which I can do my code list work?  We have been tasked
with producing a new package of support deliverables for the end of
February.  Will there be a corresponding set of schema expressions with the
end-of-February support package?

I am designing my systems so that I can recreate my outputs from any set of
schema expression inputs, be they hand-edited by me to remove the
inconsistencies, or generated by software with the fixes.  I am automating
as much as I can, but the processes need tender ministrations to get from
start to finish.

What should I do for the end of February support package?  My gut feel is to
publish my work *with* the inconsistency since that is consistent with the
schema files that have been published.

I will proceed in this fashion unless people feel strongly otherwise.

Thanks, Sylvia!
