Subject: Minutes of Atlantic UBL TC call 24 January 2007
MINUTES OF ATLANTIC UBL TC MEETING 16:00 - 18:00 UTC WEDNESDAY 24 JANUARY 2007 ATTENDANCE Peter Borresen Jon Bosak (chair) Zarella Rendon Andy Schoka Paul Thorpe STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm PB: Regarding the April OASIS symposium in San Diego: PB will be giving a UBL presentation, and MHB will be giving a UBL tutorial. Review of Pacific call No comments. SUPPORT PAGE JB: Have changed the membership as instructed and requested OASIS to change the name of ubl-ssc to "Support SC." PB: Note oioubl.dk; materials in English will be provided as well. ACTION: PB to provide pointers to English-language materials on the Danish site. NDR SCHEDULING JB: The NDR editors are not available this week. I am trying to schedule an Atlantic call NDR work session for 7 February. Everyone on the call said that they would be available for the Atlantic TC meetings 31 January and 7 February. JB: Will schedule 31 January for Support Page work and try to get NDR editors for 7 February to work on NDR. NDR WORK IN UN/CEFACT JB: See ATG2 meeting notes. PB: It doesn't look like ATG2 was very receptive to UBL. JB: They were quite receptive to the ideas we presented, just not to recognizing UBL as a special case. It appeared to me that all of the organizations represented at the meeting are dedicated to starting over with the major issues and are using the previous ATG NDR as an issues checklist rather than something that's set in stone. This looks to me like a good-faith "best of breed" effort and worthy of our support. AS: Would it be possible to form a core set of NDRs that everyone agrees on and allow individual SDOs to create their own customizations for the rest? JB: Maybe, but that's not what everyone wants; they want a single set of NDRs that all the SDOs adhere to. I'm still not clear on how this benefits interoperability beyond what we gain from basing work on a common set of CCs as long as the different SDOs continue to maintain separate sets of schemas, but everyone seems to believe that it does. PB: The current UN/CEFACT approach to customization doesn't appear to provide interoperability. JB: This is one of the major issues that ATG2 will be working on. The biggest NDR issues are code lists, customization (which ATG2 calls "derivation"), and global/local scoping. ACTION: JB to create a list of proposed action items for UBL TC review of the major ATG2 issues together with pointers to existing contributions from the other SDOs. OTHER BUSINESS AS: Pointers to UBL and UNeDocs presentations to the Federal XML Community of Practice last week? JB: http://xml.gov/presentations.asp AS: What about the registration of UBL at ET.gov? JB: It means that we're listed on the et.gov web site at http://et.gov/component_search.aspx and can be searched for in the database; beyond that, I'm not entirely sure. Apparently, .mil and .gov users need to be made aware that UBL is registered so that they can start specifying UBL in government work, but I'm not clear on the details. Also, this is a first step toward inclusion of UBL in the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Technical Reference Model (TRM); I need to find out more about how this works. We've apparently completed Stage 1 (http://et.gov/stage1.htm) and now need to move on to Stage 2 (http://et.gov/stage2.htm), which requires the formation of a "Community of Practice" among .mil and .gov users. ACTION: JB to put "ideas for communicating with .mil and .gov" on the agenda for next week's TC calls. AS: Can the bridge used for TC calls be used for ad hoc meetings on specific issues? JB: Yes, within limits; the key is to make sure that the call doesn't conflict with some other use of the bridge. Send proposed time to the list to make sure no one else is planning use at the same time. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
