Pipeline

 

Gathering of requirements

 

ICT Standardization supporting Circular Economy in the European Union, investigate if there are gaps between UBL and ongoing efforts:

-  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202101/msg00023.html

-  https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/44089?locale=en

Are there similar initiatives in other regions?

Proposed to track and develop this item under the post-award SC. Should we create a Product Master Data SC to develop this work? The Product Master Data SC could also maintain other work products, such as the Product Passport.

 

JSON specification

 

Based on a discussion among interested members, Ken has drafted a proposal for a new text with three JSON modes, legacy-mode, schema-mode and instance-mode: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202103/msg00007.html

 

Agreed to submit the BDNDRs for a new public review with the changes proposed by Ken. Will be done after 2.3 is finalized.

Agreed at the September 11, 2019 TC conference call to seek a formal liaison with ISO TC 204/WG7 specifically for collaborating on the new ISO 24533 specification.

 

We need to appoint a liaison, preferably someone who is a member of both groups. See also: https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/liaison#liaisons

 

CEN TC 434

 

Agreed at the Copenhagen face-to-face meeting that the UBL TC is open to establish a formal liaison with CEN TC 434 to create a European or international standard for electronic invoicing, if there is an interest from the CEN TC.

 

CEN informs that a liaison cannot be established at TC level. Awaiting feedback from OASIS.
