      JB: Made additions sent by GKH; location?

      GKH/AS: All the meetings are in Geneva.

    Review of Atlantic call minutes

       No comments.

UBL 2.1 PRD2 STATUS

    AGREED that some late issues raised by Audun (TSC) are for resolution
    in PRD3 (even though this means that some of the examples in PRD2
    will need to be revised).

    ACTION: GKH to make a (presumably final) PRD2 snapshot Tuesday
    for pickup by JB Wednesday.

UBL 2.1 PRD2 DOCUMENTATION

    JB: Made corrections sent by GKH and incorporated one repaired TSC
    figure from TM; still looking for other TSC figures in EA format.

    TM: Figures may have been included in previous mail.

    JB: Any changes to the difference tables?

    GKH: Must assume changes with each new SGTG snapshot.

       ACTION: JB to check TSC figures more carefully and report in
       Atlantic meeting.

       ACTION: JB to create an appendix listing the example instances by
       category as identified in mail from GKH.

UBL 2.1 PRD1 COMMENT DISPOSITION

    (1) Have all these issues been resolved?

        http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-comment/201009/msg00002.html

        DISPOSITION: Yes, all issues identified by ePrior have been resolved.

    (2) For resolution:

        http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-comment/201011/msg00000.html

        DISPOSITION: The UBL TC concludes that the unqualified data types
            based on the core component types express the units of
            measure and other supplementary components sufficiently for
            effective business document exchange.  Trading partners can
            agree between themselves on the semantic interpretation of
            the information expressed by the syntax.  We suggest that the
            commenter explore the work of the OASIS Quantities and Units
            of Measure Ontology Standard (QUOMOS) Technical Committee:
            http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=quomos

    (3) For resolution:

        http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-comment/201105/msg00001.html

        GKH: See also

           http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-dev/201105/msg00024.html

        Am now convinced that we have to make concrete all of the
        information important to the XPath expression by creating
        elements for namespace bindings.

           DISPOSITION: For discussion in PRD3 preparation.
