Subject: The UBL Small Business Subset's new home
Greetings ubl-dev, Happy to inform folk that the UBL Small Business Subset has a new home - the newly formed UBL Small Business SubCommittee (ubl-sbsc). We have a website on the OASIS site: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl-sbsc and are open for business :-) Soon, I hope, there should be a beta package of the subset for review (we are some way towards a "UBL-1.0-SBS-1.0-beta-2" package but we'll need to put together some words to explain the purpose and use of this particular subset of UBL). Many thanks to all who've helped move this work forward. Special thanks to the UBL TC for authorising this sub committee with its charter to delliver the SBS as a OASIS UBL committee draft. Special thanks too to my co-chair, G.Ken Holman who has worked behind the scenes to provide sets of XPaths to define the subset and has provided excellent technical advice and guidance to a comparative non-techie like myself :-) I hope our intial package will include the following (initially as a beta package and eventually, soon we hope, as a committee draft): # A set of XPaths to define a subset # Associated documents such as spreadsheets and sample XML instances / templates # Tentative beginnings of a kind of implementation guide and explanations of the purpose of the work # Liaisons, we hope, with interested parties representative of the likely small business users who might benefit from this work. If anyone has hints about how to keep in contact with the such suitable groups or if anyone would like to join our work (bearing in mind the IP policy of UBL which is seeking to keep things royalty-free) we'd like to hear from you. Comments to the ubl-dev list would be welcome from those who do not wish to join the SBSC, ubl-dev having been the subset's birthplace as it were. The homepage of the SBSC (above) also has a 'send a comment' facility. If folks are interested, the UBL Human Interfaces SC is doing some excellent work which implements the SBS in specifying forms for input and with continuation of the former FPSC work for presentation forms. Thanks again to all who've helped get this off the ground. All the best Stephen Green
