Subject: Re: Merge og definition review version 4


This thread was started on PSC and copied on TSC, but this message applies to both subcommittees and so I've moved the thread to the main TC list so that we don't get lost on replies.

The thread started here:

  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-psc/201301/msg00010.html

I have merged the spreadsheet with the input I got from Tim today. I have included to comments on the 10 rows that Kees pointed out. There are still missing definition about TSC issues in the following rows:
888

1678
1717
1798

Best regards and good luck

Thank you, Peter, I see that Andy has already responded to this by posting:

  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-psc/201301/msg00011.html
  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-tsc/201301/msg00000.html

But it appears that the following issue regarding definitions being done with old definitions out of sync with the database has not been addressed. My process is still reporting skipped lines due to problems in the definitions, and it has exposed a new one regarding TSC (this new one may be due to improved checking).

UBL 2.1 PRD3 DEFINITION REVIEW

   PSC - ...
       - Ken: don't forget the new definitions that were skipped:
         https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201301/msg00009.html

Oriol had some input here:

  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201301/msg00014.html

The latest list is below. Please use the list below instead of the message I cited above.

What I need done is have someone replace the cell in column "C" (the old definition) with the text in my post labeled "existing:". This updates the definition spreadsheet with the values that are found today in eDoCreator.

When that is done, then my merge process will not skip the row because column C will match what I export from eDoCreator.

There are also ambiguous new (column "D") and fix (column "J") values, where both TSC and PSC have different values for the revised definition. I've just added this check based on a chance observation and the process has discovered numerous conflicting new definitions. My process doesn't know which of the conflicting new definitions to use. They are also listed below.

The definitions are not complete until I can automate the merging. PSC and TSC will have to work out between them as to which definition to use and update both spreadsheets with the identical value.

Thank you for addressing these issues. While a couple of them are trivial, I am not in a position to do this work for you because of my other committee obligations. And because you two have your master definition spreadsheets. And there may be semantic nuances I would not appreciate.
