Subject: Re: [ubl] [GC] Additional metadata
i agree this sounds like precisely the things we need. of course, the actual metadata avilable is constrained by what the code owners themselves publish. in this case the UN/ECE only publish the 2 and 3 digit code NOT the symbol. Someone would have to match up symbols with codes (the actualy ISO 4217 code list is not free). I am not sure we want the responsibility of doing this. having said that there is an follow on argument that we should include ALL metadata the official code owners publish. after all, why should we make decisions about what to leave off? in UBL 2.0, the genericode files mainly contained just the code and a description - just so some kind of lookup functions could work. but as we are seeing there is more valuable information to potentially go in there. we have been discussing the UNLOCODEs and I am proposing including all metadata published in our updated genericde file. we could be the same for currency (and add the 2 digit code). but the process has to be the look at what the agencies we state as maintaining the code provide and work with those.
