STANDING ITEMS
Additions to the calendar:
http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm
SW: Will be attending the TBG17 meeting in Stockholm same
week as the UBL TC meeting in Montreal.
Liaison report: Tax XML TC
SW: Held a very productive meeting in Madrid and have
scheduled a conference call next week to begin work on best
practices for UBL Invoice. Question: deadline?
JB: This actually applies to the UBL 2.0 Support Package in
general.
AGREED to set the end of August as the deadline for all
initial drafts of the Support Package materials and to plan
on 1-2 TC review cycles (chiefly by the content experts)
before publication in mid-October (coincident with the
scheduled announcement of UBL 2.0 as an OASIS Standard).
GKH: Given the current lack of resources, the HISC specs may
not be able to meet this deadline; but the S.P. is a living
document, so we'll add those in later.
Liaison report: UN/CEFACT
JB/TM: Announcement of our liaison appointments to the
UN/UBL collaboration goes out Wednesday.
Liaison report: X12
KS/SW: Harmonization seemed to be the unofficial theme of
the meeting. Dick Raman of CEFACT was the keynote speaker
at the general session; he spoke of the needs for
interoperability and corporate funding and mentioned UBL
coming into UN/CEFACT. Michael Dill spoke on European
standards. X12 and CEFACT appear to be trying to work
together more closely; an MoU on alignment and joint
development is being readied for presentation to the
UN/CEFACT FMG at its next interim meeting.
Team report: Code Lists
This item expanded into a general discussion of near-term
workflow and the organization of the next UBL 2.0 release
package. See "Near-term work schedule" below. A somewhat
chaotic discussion of QDT/UDT and the NDRs produced the
following action items.
ACTION: NDR editors to look at the syntax of the QDT for
ChannelCode and tell TM whether this is a legal
restriction:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200606/msg00031.html
ACTION: PB to include the QDT spreadsheet in the WD3
package.
In addition, it appears that we have NDR language left over
from UBL 1.0 relating to code list schemas that no longer
should be included (for example, a requirement to create
code list schemas). We will need to schedule an Atlantic
call discussion to talk about this in detail.
Subcommittee report: PSC
SW: PSC has not met in the last two weeks, and it's in the
critical path for corrections to the spreadsheets.
ACTION: TM and SW to hold a PSC meeting Thursday or Friday.
Subcommittee report: TSC
TM: The TSC is not in the critical path for the normative
package. It is meeting tomorrow to create sample instances.
Review of Atlantic call
No comments.
UBL 2.0 PACKAGE
AGREED on the following work plan for the coming week:
- GKH sends code list methodology 0.5, including genericode
0.4, to TM
- TM prepares genericode versions of all the code lists and
sends to GKH
- GKH compiles defaultcodelist.xsl and sends to JB
- JB creates an out-of-the-box validation environment for XP
and linux using defaultCodeList.xsl
- TM finishes up UML models, sends to JB
- JB writes up an informative annex on UBL 2 two-phase
validation, noting that users will be able to generate a
separate set of schemas with enumerations that can be used
to provide the same static functionality using just
single-pass W3C schema validation and summarizing the
additional features that will be available in the Support
Package
- JB puts together a trial UBL 2.0 release package for testing
in GKH's class the week of 26 June
AGREED that we need to include the genericode files in UBL 2.0
so that people can see the default code list values. It
doesn't matter which version of genericode is used for these
files, but it must be made clear that the genericode spec is a
work in progress.
TM: We should consider using some of the (old) UBL FAQ in the
prose.
AGREED on the following directory structure for UBL 2.0:
art Artwork
asn ASN.1 schema
codelist Code list files
gc Genericode files
xsdcl Enum versions of the gc files
doc Related documents
etc Credits
ndr NDR checklist
index.html The text proper
mod The spreadsheets
lib
maindoc
oob Out-of-the-box two-phase validation support
for XP and linux
uml UML models
concept [Not clear whether these two
implem subdirectories are still needed]
xml Sample instances
xsd W3C schemas (standard)
common
maindoc
xsdrt Same as xsd with the annotations stripped out
common

xsl XSLT transforms
MONTREAL TC MEETING
JB: IDEAlliance is still checking to see whether meeting rooms
are available.
ACTION ITEM REVIEW
ACTION: TM to assume responsibility for generating the
genericode representations of the UBL 2.0 code lists.
Has done so.
ACTION: GKH to raise a question about namespace URIs on the ubl
mail list.
Done.
ACTION: TM to talk to PB about putting the change log into a
form that will help indicate the differences between this
review package and the last one.
Pending.
ACTION: JB to send an inquiry to PSC regarding a missed comment.
Done.
ACTION: TM to mail comment submitters with disposition of
comments.
