UBL 1.0 code list coded values in UBL 2.0

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

It was decided that the only schema-expressed enumerations in UBL 2.0 
will be for the ATG2-based data types.

There were a number of "system" enumerations in particular datatypes 
for in the UBL 1.0 schemas, as compared to trading partners 
developing their own "business" enumerations for other data types.

I see a "system" enumeration as one defined by the UBL committee with 
a predefined set of values that mean something to the processing 
defined by UBL and not really trading-partner specific.  If desired, 
however, trading partners can change the predefined list (perhaps 
only limit a set of status codes that their system supports instead 
of a complete set, or augment a set of status codes with an extension 
their system supports).

I see a "business" enumeration as one defined entirely by the trading 
partners, such as an account code.

One of the action items for 2.0 code lists is to bring the UBL 1.0 
system enumerations into the 2.0 fold using the 2.0 methodology of 
using genericode files.  Therefore, I used Tony's scripts to create 
the genericode files from the UBL 1.0 schema expressions, but I 
wanted to document what I've done in case something is messed up.

In the table below I used the UBL 1.0 code list schema enumeration 
expressions listed on the left to create the UBL 2.0 data type 
genericode external enumerations listed on the right.

UBL-CodeList-AcknowledgementResponseCode-1.0   ResponseCodeType
UBL-CodeList-AllowanceChargeReasonCode-1.0     ReasonCodeType
UBL-CodeList-ChannelCode-1.0                   ChannelCodeType
UBL-CodeList-ChipCode-1.0                      ChipCodeType
UBL-CodeList-CountryIdentificationCode-1.0     (doesn't exist in 2.0?)
UBL-CodeList-DocumentStatusCode-1.0            DocumentStatusCodeType
UBL-CodeList-LatitudeDirectionCode-1.0         LatitudeDirectionCodeType
UBL-CodeList-LineStatusCode-1.0                LineStatusCodeType
UBL-CodeList-LongitudeDirectionCode-1.0        LongitudeDirectionCodeType
UBL-CodeList-OperatorCode-1.0                  OperatorCodeType
UBL-CodeList-PaymentMeansCode-1.0              PaymentMeansCodeType
UBL-CodeList-SubstitutionStatusCode-1.0        SubstitutionStatusCodeType

The first question is in regard to the first two entries of the table 
because it would appear that the names of the data types have changed 
from UBL 1 to UBL 2 ... have I correctly guessed the data types to use?

The second question is that UBL 1 had a country identification code 
type and it would appear that UBL 2 does not ... is this an oversight?

Next, to cover up the temporary presence of CurrencyCodeType that I 
gather will be removed in the next draft of 2.0, I've copied the 
CurrencyCodeContentType list of coded values to be the 
CurrencyCodeType list of coded values, rather than using the UBL 1.0 
currency list.

Finally, I have not checked (and do not have the subject matter 
expertise to check) any of the coded values themselves for their 
appropriateness or business semantics, as I am only mechanically 
producing the support files from the names of the code lists that I 
have.  Can someone confirm that the coded values we used for these 
data types in UBL 1.0 are the acceptable coded values we are to use 
for these data types in UBL 2.0?

Thanks!
