MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING TUESDAY 1 JULY 2008 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) G. Ken Holman Tim McGrath (vice chair) Andy Schoka STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ubl.xml.org/events None. Liaison reports TM: Sven Rasmussen is taking over from AS as our participant in TBG17 calls. Subcommittee report: PSC ACTION (6/24): TM to discuss status of models with PLB. Pending; call scheduled this week. Subcommittee report: TSC ACTION (6/24): AS to contact Ismar for an update regarding Danish transportation requirements. TM: The merger of the Danish and Swedish post offices will affect UBL implementation. We need to know the effect this will have on Danish transport requirements. AS: Waiting response from Ismar, but this should not prevent TSC from beginning work on requirements already identified (including TBG3 concerns). Will schedule a meeting including EFM participants. Review of Atlantic call TM: Regarding the clarification of our 2006 agreement with UN/CEFACT: we should also note that the requirements for UBL 2.1 are generated by requests to support existing or planned implementations of UBL from outside organizations such as CEN/ISSS BII, the U.S. Department of Transportation, iSURF, and the government of Spain. ADOPTION SC / UBL FOCUS AREA GKH: Have asked OASIS to integrate a google calendar interface. AGREED that we can now replace the UBL Support Page with a pointer to uml.xml.org. ACTION: JB to make it so. AGREED that the forum component of u.x.o should be disabled and replaced with pointers to ubl-dev subscription and the ubl-dev archive. ACTION: GKH to contact Carol Geyer. INTERNATIONAL DATA DICTIONARY JB: Roberto has generated templates and work has begun on Japanese, Italian, and Spanish updates, but so far we have no estimates of time to completion from the LSCs. UBL WORK SCHEDULE ACTION (1/8): JB to revise the work schedule spreadsheet. Pending finalization of the BII schedule. CUSTOMIZATION GUIDELINES ACTION (6/24): JB to find out status. JB: Nothing back yet from MG and MC. ACTION: TM to send copy to AS. ACTION: JB to check with MG and MC in this week's Atlantic call and begin circulating the current draft to the TC if they cannot produce a revision soon. AGREED that the completion of an initial public draft, including both conformance and compatibility sections, will be a key deliverable for the meeting in Montréal. UBL 2.1 ISSUES LIST ACTION (12/18): TM to populate the new issues list with all currently known UBL 2.1 issues. Pending. UNTDED ROAD MAP QUESTIONNAIRE See http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200806/msg00015.html AGREED to submit our input as the draft referenced above, with the substitution of the sentence "The UNTDED should become a syntax-neutral profile for implementations of the data elements used in international trade documents" in place of the sentence "TDED should not be a model - it should be a dictionary." It was observed that such a profile could usefully include such things as code lists and business rules as well as field lengths. EFM GAP ANALYSIS See http://projects.battelle.org/fih/Files/FIH_Comparison_toUBL_v1.pdf ACTION: AS to schedule a TSC meeting and discuss with DOT representatives. 2008 TC MEETING SCHEDULE 4-8 August 2008 in Montréal Confirmed. Hotel Europa, rue Drummond (the week prior to the Balisage conference in the same location). See Atlantic minutes for current attendance list. Agenda so far: Customization Guidelines (plenary + GKH, JB, MC) Business Rules (GKH and PLB) NDR editorial (JB, MC, ZR) IDD assembly (JB) GKH: Change hotel to Europa. 19-23 January 2009 in Fremantle TM: Still chasing venue; many options. TC CONCALL SCHEDULE Week of 07 July REGULAR SCHEDULE Week of 14 July REGULAR SCHEDULE Week of 21 July *** CANCELED *** Week of 28 July *** CANCELED *** (per usual policy) Week of 04 August TC MEETING IN MONTRÉAL Week of 11 August *** CANCELED *** (per usual policy) Week of 18 August REGULAR SCHEDULE Week of 25 August REGULAR SCHEDULE OTHER BUSINESS GKH: Two items. 1. Regarding NDR and order of BBIEs in advance of ASBIEs: this is not a rule, just a pattern. TM: This is a modeling policy established in order to maintain a logical sequence as items are added in subsequent revisions (so that we are not simply adding everything new at the end). The schema should express the logical sequence of the model. AGREED to add an editorial note to this effect in the NDR document. 2. OASIS has told Juerg (currently an observer) that only voting members can post to the UBL TC. JB: Someone is confused about the distinction between "member" and "voting member." Observers cannot post to the list, but members can (whether voting members or not). A nonvoting member can do anything that a voting member can do except vote. Juerg needs to add himself to the TC as a member. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
