MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING

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.

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.
