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?

 

-  Luxembourg has initiated an initiative with ISO TC 323 to develop a “product circularity data sheet”: https://pcds.lu, which seems to be aligned with circular economy requirements for UBL. ISO TC 323 focuses on a syntax-neutral data model.

o Agreed that Organisation Master Data SC will lead this work.

Anything to report?

 

Organisation Master Data Subcommittee

 

As established earlier, there is a mutual interest in establishing formal liaisons between ISO TC 323 (WG5) and the UBL TC to work together on the PCDS. Next TC 323 meeting is September 26, why we need to send our letter of interest to the TC before then. Who can serve as liaison officer? Cecile will survey options for joining ISO.

 

Anything to report?

 

TC 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. OASIS is contacting CEN to set up a TC liaison.

 

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32/WG 1

 

Decision to appoint Andrea as liaison representative between ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32 and the TC recorded here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202007/msg00014.html

 

Next SC 32 meeting will be held in June 2022. OASIS should have been following up with the SC 32 secretariat last year but still no progress. Harm Jan will follow up with Jamie to see what the status is.

 

GitHub instance for UBL 2.4 work

 

Work on UBL 2.4 will be done in the existing “ubl” GitHub instance. Members interested in working on branches, please send Ken your GitHub account name and associated email address. At least every subcommittee chair should be a maintainer.
