MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING 00:30 - 02:30 UTC TUESDAY 11 JULY 2006 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) G. Ken Holman Andy Schoka Kumar Sivaraman Sylvia Webb STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm None. Subcommittee report: SBSC GKH: Have opened debate on whether we can follow my proposed customization approach, which is no longer based on XPath files but rather on a set of schemas. Liaison report: X12 KS: X12 is trying to develop metadata interchange for CICA. SW: A standardized format for vendors that will allow the exchange of data between developers and their tools. Team report: Code Lists GKH: TM has given me more UBL-initialized codelists. ACTION: GKH to provide revised defaultCodeList.xsl and new cl/ directory by the end of the week. Subcommittee report: PSC SW: No meetings till 7/31. Subcommittee report: TSC AS: Meetings start this Thursday morning (Wednesday night in Western Hemisphere). Review of Atlantic call No comments. Schedule review http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200602/msg00016.html See below. MONTREAL TC MEETING Note hotel info in last Atlantic TC minutes. Make reservations now! JB: Who's coming? JB, staying at the Europa GKH, staying at the Europa (Wed-Fri) AS, probably staying at the Europa SW cannot attend (in Europe) PUBLIC REVIEW #2 File names (2 vs. 2.0) GKH: Don't feel SG's justification is enough. The issue is backwards compatibility of using xsi:schemalocation in UBL instances. The fact that xsd ties instance to model with xmi:schemaLocation is not a good practice, but we cannot prevent it; embedding a schemaLocation pointing to a local directory doesn't work anyway in a UBL context, only in a closed system. The right way to do this is to map namespace URIs using the XML Catalog; we should develop guidelines for that. Note that we're not talking about version numbers in namespace URIs but rather in file names, which should be able to change even if the namespace stays the same. We should deprecate the use of xsi:schemaLocation (which is not the same as xsd:schemaLocation, which in our releases are all relative) and show people how to use Catalog. AS: No strong feelings about this. SW: Would prefer to have "dot zero" and be consistent. GKH: But note that not all software supports xml catalogs. JB: [Recalling that Catalog was the first specification ever developed by OASIS] It's an OASIS Standard; we should use it. ACTION: Everyone to review the correspondence between SG and GKH and decide this in the Atlantic call Wednesday. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200607/msg00037.html http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200607/msg00039.html http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200607/msg00041.html art/ JB: Move UML diagrams to UML directory? GKH: Easier to teach if kept in art/; reserve uml/ for class diagrams. AGREED to keep the process diagrams in the art/ directory (even though they happen to be UML activity diagrams). asn/ Dependent on schemas. cl/ cl/gc cl/gc/cefact cl/gc/default cl/gc/special-purpose cl/xsdcl cl/xsdcl/default cl/xsdcl/special-purpose Ken will revise by Friday to incorporate new files from TM. From recent minutes: JB: We will need to provide instructions to users on how to create their own enum-based schemas from these files (e.g., how to set up namespace declarations). SW: Will look into this. SW: Still trying to figure out whether whole codelist methodology will work. JB: So the explanation of how to use the enums sounds like a support package issue. GKH: Therefore we should include these files only for documentary purposes till the support package comes out. SW: If you open the enum files in Spy, it complains about an absence of namespaces. ACTION: SW to send GKH error messages from Spy; GKH to fix XSLT that generates the enum schemas. doc doc/etc JB: May be empty for prd2. GKH/SW/AS: Current empty doc/etc and doc/ndr did not make it into the zip file. doc/ndr JB: Need the NDR checklist. mod mod/lib mod/maindoc JB: Will put in Tim's revision. GKH: TM has been delivering all the spreadsheets in a single directory. If divided into lib and maindoc, QDT should go into lib. SW: Two subdirs is fine to maintain consistency with 1.0 and with the xsd directory. AS: So call them mod/common and mod/maindoc. AGREED to keep two subdirectories under mod/ but call them mod/common and mod/maindoc. uml JB: Appears to be done for PRD2. validate/ JB: Need new test instances. ACTION: GKH to make new Order test docs (one good and two bad). xml (sample instances) From two weeks ago: SW: The problem is that we can't get the instances to have correct names with the current naming problems; PB is trying to get a consulting resource dedicated to doing the instances in his absences, but haven't heard of the outcome. No sample instances this week. GKH: So what I'm preparing for the class Friday will be what I'm using for the UBL tutorial in Montreal. SW: We also needed use cases/scenarios from TM, and those are not complete; TM is trying to decide whether to use the office supply scenario or a new building materials scenario. SW: No progress that I know of. GKH: Might have Invoice and Order by Wednesday. SW: It's possible that Alan can generate instances automatically if the scenarios are done. ACTION: JB to ask Alan whether it's possible to provide sample documents and scenarios. xsd xsd/common xsd/maindoc JB: Need another spin from new spreadsheets. SW: Will generate another set of schemas, but still need questions answered in Atlantic call before the extension element can be included. ACTION: SW to provide URLs to these questions. xsdrt xsdrt/common xsdrt/maindoc JB: Created automatically from xsd files. PUBLIC REVIEW SCHEDULE JB: At this point, we're about a month behind schedule. AGREED to try for the following PRD2 delivery schedule: Week of 10 July: Create all materials for PRD2; this assumes that we resolve all outstanding technical questions (in particular, those relating to file names and the extension element) on Wednesday 12 July Week of 17 July: Ballot the PRD2 CD Week of 24 July: Request public review Weeks of 31 July and 7 August: Public review UBL TC meeting week of 14 August: process comments along with work on the Support Package and NDR document ACTION ITEM REVIEW ACTION: NDR editors to look at the syntax of the QDT for ChannelCode and tell TM whether this is a legal restriction. Pending; this item should be moved to the Atlantic call. ACTION: TM to talk to PB about putting the change log into a form that will help indicate the differences between this review package and the last one. Done (submitted as a Word table in WD8 zip). ACTION: TM to mail comment submitters with disposition of comments. Pending. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
