PEPPOL/BII MEETINGS IN COPENHAGEN
KB: The PEPPOL conference went very well. Stuart Feder (chair
of CEFACT) was appointed to head BII phase 2.
ADDING NEW DOCUMENT TYPES
We have a request to add one new CPFR document type, Purchase
Conditions (not two as recorded in the minutes of the Pacific
TC call).
JB: Let's review the way we approve new UBL content. The
method we've used since before UBL 0.7 is as follows:
- Content is developed by business experts in a relevant UBL
content subcommittee. In UBL 0.7 and 1.0, this was a single
subcommittee called "the Content Subcommittee." Since then,
this work has taken place in two subcommittees, the UBL
Procurement Subcommittee (PSC) and the UBL Transportation
Subcommittee (TSC). These subcommittees are trusted to make
virtually all decisions about the UBL data models.
- The rules for creating an XML syntax binding for the data
models are created by a separate team. In UBL 0.7 and 1.0,
this was a subcommittee called the NDR Subcommittee; in UBL
2.0 and later, this work has been entrusted to the two NDR
editors, who work closely with the TC and (in 2.1) the
Schema Generation Subcommittee.
- The UBL TC itself is formally responsible for everything
that goes into each UBL release. In practice, this
authority is generally exercised by approving or
disapproving the entire release when it comes time to
approve a draft. In every release so far, there have been
actual issues to resolve at the TC level, but for practical
reasons we try whenever possible to resolve these in the
subcommittees and only look at issues for which resolution
at the subcommittee level has proven impossible.
- For UBL 2.1, we've put two other groups into the process.
One of these groups is a Modeling Integration Team that was
created on 27 October 2009 and consists of TM, AS, and PB:

The other group is the Schema Generation Task Group, which
was created a year ago (2009.02.23-03.02) and consists of
GKH, Oriol, and TonyC:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200902/msg00019.html
The way content gets into the release now is as follows:
1. The PSC or TSC approves content
2. The Modeling Integration Team verifies that the content
is properly integrated into the data models
3. The data models go to the SGTG
4. The SGTG generates the schemas using the schema
generation tool (which happens this time around to be
eDoCreator).
(Cf. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201001/msg00003.html)
So the way that this additional document type is going to get
added to the set is as follows:
1. The PSC approves the new Purchase Conditions document
type (or not)
2. The MIT verifies that Purchase Conditions is properly
integrated into the data models
3. The revised data models go to the SGTG
4. The SGTG generates the revised schema set.
The next step, therefore, is for Fulya to send a message to the
PSC mail list asking for the addition of Purchase Conditions to
UBL 2.1. Then the PSC considers this (in person or by email),
and so on.
ACTION: JB to call these minutes to the attention of the PSC.
SCHEDULE REVIEW
JB: Waiting for documentation input from PSC/TSC.
TC: Waiting for code list input.
ACTION: JB to ask TM for his copy of the schedule reviewed in
Copenhagen.
2010 UBL TC F2F MEETING SCHEDULE
(Preliminary) 9-13 August 2010 (the week following Balisage
2010) in Montreal: http://www.balisage.net/
JB: It was agreed in Copenhagen to hold this meeting in
Montreal, subject to confirmation of a meeting room. That
has now been confirmed (and participants will pay reduced
conference rates for their hotel rooms).
AGREED that we are now committed to hold this meeting in
Montreal on the dates specified.
(Preliminary) 7-11 February 2011 at Middle East Technical
University in Ankara: http://www.metu.edu.tr/
KB: Suggest Mexico for the meeting following Ankara.
TC CONCALL SCHEDULE
Discussion of possible change in time/date for this call:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201002/msg00001.html
AGREED to change the regular meeting time for the Atlantic call
to noon New York time on Wednesdays, beginning next week.
AGREED to keep the Pacific call at 7:30 p.m. in New York after
the change to Daylight Saving Time. (Thus, both Atlantic and
Pacific times will stay the same for North America and Europe
after the change to DST, which means that in both cases, the
UTC time will move earlier by one hour.)
OTHER BUSINESS
KB: Brazil (which has its own national standard for invoices)
is the largest user of electronic invoicing. In Sao Paulo
alone, almost 7 billion electronic invoices have been sent
since September 2006, and there are 7.2 million participants in
the program.
