Subject: Minutes of the Manhattan UBL TC meeting, 2008.01.28-02.01
MINUTES OF THE MANHATTAN UBL TC MEETING, 28 JANUARY - 1 FEBRUARY 2008 ================================================================== MONDAY 28 JANUARY 2008: OPENING PLENARY ================================================================== Attendance In person: Jon Bosak (chair) Mavis Cournane Mike Grimley G. Ken Holman Kim, SungHyuk Ole Madsen Andy Schoka Mike Onder By phone: Tim McGrath (vice chair) Report from the chair (Bosak) The window for 2.1 input is between April 2008 in Bologna and August 2008 in Montréal. AGREED that we should aim to have a 2.1 version of the Customization Guidelines ready for release with UBL 2.1. We assume that there won't be a lot of new requirements, just possible refinement. AGREED that we will finish up work on the UBL 2.0 NDR in Atlantic TC calls. First session: 20 February, to include JB, MC, MG, GKH, plus BH if available. The UBL localization subcommittees will have work to do after the changes have been made for the Update Package; the wording of some of the definitions has changed. DKLSC report (Madsen) See http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27190 The next OIOUBL version will be based on UBL 2.1. The client shown in the report is available in both Java and C# versions; a translation of the client UI into Italian is underway. ACTION: OM to send a list of the online input/output facilities for the Support Page. UN/CEFACT Liaison report (McGrath) See http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27189 Federal Community of Practice (Onder) The U.S. Department of Transportation has approved a six-month exploration of the possibility that DOT could lead a Federal Community of Practice for UBL. Such a CoP would presumably use GSA-provided collaborative software in place of ubl-dev, which is currently listed in this role as a placeholder. MG noted that he is involved in the Universal Core Initiative, which is defining a cross-agency core data set. ACTION: MG to discuss this initiative with MO. GKH: Crane has made a UNLK PDF rendering for UBL Invoice available in 12 languages; perhaps Transportation Status could be the next doc type to receive this treatment. A UNLK-like format and mapping will be needed to accomplish this. DOT is invited to contribute. The remaining reports were moved to the Wednesday afternoon plenary (see below). ================================================================== TUESDAY 29 JANUARY 2008 ================================================================== No plenary sessions Tuesday. ================================================================== WEDNESDAY 30 JANUARY 2008: AFTERNOON PLENARY ================================================================== Attendance Jon Bosak (chair) Mavis Cournane Mike Grimley G. Ken Holman Kim, SungHyuk Ole Madsen Andy Schoka SBSC/HISC report (Holman) Gruffudd Williams has had to withdraw due to other commitments. Mark Seaborne of picoforms is working on XForms input; we will be discussing his participation later in the week. OM is helping with mappings to UNLK. In sum: SBSC has a manpower issue, because Gruffud's prototype was to have been used for SBSC. HISC is still in need of mappings; note that the formatting specifications produced by HISC are exemplars or guidelines, not normative. KRLSC report (Kim) http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27194 ESLSC report http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27191 ITLSC report http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27192 JPLSC report http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27193 TSC report (Schoka) http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27195 ================================================================== THURSDAY 31 JANUARY 2008: MORNING PLENARY ================================================================== Attendance In person: Jon Bosak (chair) Mike Grimley G. Ken Holman Kim, SungHyuk Ole Madsen Andy Schoka By phone: Tim McGrath (vice chair) Adoption SC OASIS has suggested the formation of a UBL focus area in the OASIS domain at ubl.xml.org. This would be implemented as a wiki; see dita.xml.org for an example. It would support file sharing, news events, software downloads, etc. The site would both provide for a more interactive environment for the support of UBL and a collaborative site through which organizations implementing UBL could share experience in a more proactive way than can be accomplished via the existing UBL Support Page. As with dita.xml.org, the site would be maintained by an editorial committee. OASIS has suggested that the most logical way to form the editorial committee would be as an "Adoption Subcommittee" of the UBL TC. Advantages of this approach would include: - Moving the current UBL Support Page to a more interactive environment - Differentiating the function of the TC in developing standards from adoption and implementation activities - Increasing visibility (these focus areas are promoted at OASIS symposia) - Maintaining TC ownership via the Adoption Subcommittee OASIS requires at least one site sponsor; TM's new company, Document Engineering Services Ltd., has been accepted as the first sponsor. AGREED to the following plan for approval by the TC via letter ballot: 1. We accept the offer to create the ubl.xml.org site. 2. We accept the suggestion from OASIS to form a UBL Adoption Subcommittee as the ubl.xml.org editorial board. 3. We request the formation of the new Adoption Subcommittee, keeping the existing SSC (Support Page) live during the transition and eventually redirecting from there to the new ASC. 4. We appoint G. Ken Holman as both head of the editorial board and chair of the ASC, and we appoint the following UBL TC members to consitute the editorial board and the membership of the ASC: Oriol Bausa Mikkel Brun Roberto Cisternino Tony Coates Asuman Dogac Martin Forsberg Mike Grimley Tim McGrath ACTION: JB to send default letter ballot to the TC. Customization Guidelines TM: Examples needed and compatibility section needs to be expanded, e.g., semantic equivalence per SG: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200801/msg00019.html http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200801/msg00021.html ACTION: TM to draft a paragraph on semantic equivalence that will go somewhere around section 3.2.1. ACTION: AS to create a tree diagram. ACTION: MG to prepare a revised draft of Chapter 1 (the current sections 1-3) in time for people to review before the next Pacific call. Subcommittee participation ACTION: For TSC: AS to ask Mike Onder for suitable contacts at Fedex, UPS, DHL, Menlo, etc.; JB to send message regarding the window of opportunity for inputs to UBL 2.1; MG to continue to pursue opportunities to find people in DoD/DoN, perhaps arrange for a presentation from USDOT. ACTION: For HISC: JB to put out notice regarding HISC openings to ubl-dev, including layout design and mappings for transportation and catalogue documents. SBSC is stalled after reassignment of cochair; AGREED to suspend SBSC activity for the moment and see how BITS proceeds on resumption of the PSC in April. ================================================================== THURSDAY 31 JANUARY 2008: AFTERNOON PLENARY ================================================================== All business scheduled for the afternoon session was completed during the morning plenary; however, the phone line was opened at 15:00 EST as scheduled to allow remote participation. Attending the afternoon session were Jon Bosak (chair), Mike Grimley, G. Ken Holman, and Andy Schoka. The meeting was adjourned at 16:01 EST, no one having dialed in and no formal business except adjournment having been conducted. ================================================================== FRIDAY 1 FEBRUARY 2008 ================================================================== No plenary sessions Friday. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
