UBL 2.2
 - the initial suggestion period for UBL 2.2 is now closed
   - the TC is now expecting each of the Transportation, Pre-award and
     Post-award subcommittees to make the recommendations for 2.2 additions
     to be agreed upon by the TC; this is done by way of a JIRA ticket
 - Andy managing requirements for transportation documents
 - Kees managing requirements for post-award documents
 - Ole managing requirements for pre-award documents
 - Roberto managing requirements for party information document
   - more than a business card and less than a company dossier

 - the initial master UBL 2.2 spreadsheet is found here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qXmbTu4aNak7s7yxHeKxj5mmfiIBj_CQqq7rJT3Vizg/view
   - the latest working draft release of UBL 2.2 using only the 2.1 model:
     https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/201606/msg00031.html

 - documentation requirements
   - a Google text document of the hub document is here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yv2y6EQkHhGjjgIpwBNpWdxi5tDY3l0-NwkwDM0MpYg/edit
     - committee members have been given permissions to edit the document
     - Ken will try to move the content into XML when the edits are complete
     - removing hanging paragraphs by adding introductory sections
     - disambiguating section titles
   - each submitter of new documents and objects must consider what additional
     documentation is needed in the UBL hub document:
     - general business rules - sections 2.1.x
     - business objects - sections 2.x
     - party roles - section 2.19
     - example instances - sections 3.1.x

 - do we need to create RELAX-NG schemas for UBL 2.2?
   - Ken can poll the UBL-Dev mail list to ask the community there
   - Tim observed that what we could do is just point people to the tool
     that creates RELAX-NG from W3C Schema:
      https://github.com/relaxng/jing-trang

 - do we need to create ASN.1 and UML deliverables for UBL 2.2?
   - ASN.1 still important for user communities such as TC204
   - UML is still important, but it is not an automated process nor trivial

 - Ken has questions regarding property term possessive noun and property
   term primary noun used in the tendering business objects, as an example,
   those found in the ABIE TenderedProject
   - will fix these as encountered
   - note that the property term is comprised of the possessive noun and
     the primary noun in such a manner that the primary noun should be the
     noun of what the object is, and the possessive noun should be such that
     the natural language is as adding the possessive "apostrophe s"
     - example:  "Tender Amount"
       - the primary noun is "Amount" and the possessive noun is "Tender"
         as if one would say "the tender's amount"
   - note also that the property term should not rely on the reader knowing
     representation term to understand what is the business object
     - example:  "Tender Amount"
       - it would be inappropriate for the primary noun to be "tender" even
         when the element name becomes "TenderAmount" because one would need
         to know the representation term is "Amount"
       - when the element name is derived and the primary noun is equal to
         the representation term, the duplication doesn't show up in the name

 - please review all JIRA tickets and comment and/or act where necessary:
       https://issues.oasis-open.org/issues/?filter=12972
   - all of the issues are to be closed by September 1, 2016 in order to
     create the first committee specification draft and public review draft
   - please remember to document your actions on the ticket and then assign
     the ticket to the next person (usually Ken) to deal with the ticket, as
     others won't know what is being done

      https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=58522
     - AGREED (pending Atlantic call) - unanimous by those present


JSON Task Group
 - notes from last week:
   - it was suggested that we create a JSON task group to explore the
     appropriateness of the technology w.r.t. UBL
- JSON and noSQL database solutions are good for working *with* UBL documents
   - XML is good for representing UBL documents for interchange
   - many vendors are coming out with solutions incorporating JSON, but they
     are all bespoke and incompatible with each other
   - if we ended up with a methodology for applying UBL structures in a
     JSON environment, this may be helpful to the community
 - no action this week; still looking for a lead to take on this review


UBL 2.1 spreadsheet/information errata found (non-material)
 - Tim reported that the additions to UBL 2.2 Pre-award were difficult to
   determine because the version value for the new items were not properly set
 - for the record, new NDR consistency checks have revealed that the "current
   version" column of the UBL 2.1 model has incorrect values for 27 entries,
   rather than the proper value of "2.1":
Consignment. Shipping Priority Level Code. Code: "2.0"
Declaration. Evidence Supplied: "1.0"
Document Reference. Result Of Verification: "2.0"
External Reference. Hash Algorithm Method. Text: "1.0"
Pickup. Pickup_ Party. Party: "2.0"
Shipment. Return_ Address. Address: "2.0"
Status. Condition: "2.0"
Transport Execution Plan Request. Signature: "2.0"
Transport Execution Plan. Signature: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Details: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. UBL Version Identifier. Identifier: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Customization Identifier. Identifier: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Profile Identifier. Identifier: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Identifier: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Carrier Assigned_ Identifier. Identifier: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. UUID. Identifier: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Issue Date. Date: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Issue Time. Time: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Name: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Description. Text: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Note. Text: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Shipping Order Identifier. Identifier: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Other_ Instruction. Text: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Consignment: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Document Reference: "2.0"
Transportation Status Request. Signature: "2.0"
Web Site Access. URI. Identifier: "2.0"
 - this does not affect schema validity, so this is a non-material issue, so
   no need to change the UBL 2.1 deliverables
 - these values have been repaired in the UBL 2.2 model (they will point to
   2.1) so that the new additions in UBL 2.2 can be checked for having the
   correct value in this column
 - it also seems that 59 items marked as coming from UBL 2.1 actually came
   from earlier versions of UBL:
Mislabelled version number for old BIEs: 59

 - the UBL 2.2 model is being updated to reflect the values used in UBL 2.0
   for the above entries
   - many items labeled 2.0 actually come from 1.0 ... should we abandon the
     1.0 values and simply change them to 2.0 so that all versions are from
     the 2.x family?
     - Ken will change all versions 1.x to be 2.0

UBL TC next steps

  - what promotional issues need to be addressed?
  - do we need a travelling road show along the lines of UBL International?
