Publishing tools

Peter has offered to help with spreadsheet maintenance. Kees and Cecile have offered to help with editorship and maintenance.

Previous repositories have been replaced with a single repository where both artefacts and the hub documents are maintained simultaneously for the production of a complete distribution package and an archive package:

Those who have volunteered to help with editing and maintenance, please test the above and provide feedback. Please report any issues regarding problems with the data.

Ken has prepared a Github branch for working with UBL 2.4, available here: ubl-2.4-csd01wd01. Subcommittees are welcome to begin their own branches from this branch. Google spreadsheets are also available for subcommittees to copy. Please contact Ken with any questions.

ISO requirements being discussed here: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-240

UBL 2.4

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

- https://www.gs1.eu/news/a-standards-based-knowledge-system-for-the-circular-economy

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.

The new OASIS OriginBX (http://originbx-oasis.org/) project aims at standardizing tax and trade attributes and may provide new requirements for UBL and vice versa. See also: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/202106/msg00004.html
