Subject: Tools for database support for UBL?
Dear UBL-DEV, Hi If anyone has interest in the possibility of developing tools to help store UBL and UBL-based instances in a relational database I've been thinking along the following lines: 1. What sort of tables could UBL map to? What would be the relational mapping, say? 2. Need to map Schemas to 'CREATE' SQL and develop a generator for that 3. Need to map instances to 'UPDATE' SQL (etc ...?) and develop a generator for that I wonder if any have thoughts of devloping something like the above, perhaps as opensource or priced attractively to foster wider UBL / UBL-like Schema adoption (the key to successful use of UBL perhaps). What worries me is the complexity of UBL but there's the challenge and the drive I suppose. It would seem obvious to just treat every ABIE as a table and every document as an ABIE/table too. The relationships are where I get a bit lost. Another key factor would be to make the tools generic - to handle any Schemas built by the UBL NDR rules and from the UBL spreadsheets (e.g. see UBLish from softml.com which uses a scripting language similar to perl). All the best Steve
