Review of Atlantic call
No comments.
2.0 SCHEDULE UPDATE
JB: Submission of the UBL 2.0 CS has been accepted for
Standards processing. The schedule is:
Last two weeks of October: OASIS administrative processing
First two weeks of November: OASIS member "familiarization"
Last two weeks of November: Balloting by member organizations
Unless something turns up during administrative processing,
we're done with the development of UBL 2.0 as such. This puts
us at about the halfway point with UBL 2.0 work.
SINGAPORE MEETING
GKH: Have now bought tickets.
JB: KSH has sent regrets.
ACTION: TM to draft time schedule for specific Singapore agenda
items; JB to put them into the usual meeting agenda template.
The rest of the meeting was spent discussing the status and timing
of the UBL 2.0 Support Package and Standalone Documents, as
detailed in the following.
UBL 2.0 SUPPORTING MATERIALS: 1. STANDALONE DOCUMENTS
Code List Value Validation Methodology (CLVVM)
We have CLVVM 0.7 Draft 1. GKH will prepare Draft 2 of
CLVVM 0.7 for discussion in Singapore and then create CLVVM
1.0 after the meeting.
UBL Customization Methodology
This consists of two pieces: a general guide on developing a
customization (owner: TM) and then the tools for
implementing it (owner: GKH); call this latter piece
"customization verification".
TM will plan a work session on customization in Singapore
and prepare a "50 thousand foot" view for discussion. We
did not further discuss the timing of c11n v10n.
UBL 2.0 Small Business Subset (SBS)
We have a preliminary draft but don't know whether Stephen
Green intends to continue as co-chair of the SBSC.
ACTION: JB to check with SG regarding his plans for
participation.
Some of the draft SBS instances are being used in creation
of the BITS. It's possible that we can create something
like the SBS by working backwards from BITS. Due to the
inclusion of international transport documents, this
wouldn't be a "small business" subset but rather something
like a "sample customization." To be further discussed in
Singapore.
UBL 2.0 International Data Dictionary (IDD)
Work begins at the meeting in Singapore. [We didn't discuss
this in the call, but: ACTION: JB to propose the template
for UBL 2.0 spreadsheet translations.]
UBL 2.0 SUPPORTING MATERIALS: 2. THE SUPPORT PACKAGE
Code List support
GKH will recreate UBL 2.0 support files after publication of
the CVVM; can deliver in January.
Sample Implementation Guide from Denmark
From "Minutes of UBL TC meeting 17 August 2006 (1)":
PB: We will deliver a package containing sample
documents, scenario descriptions, schematron and XSL
transformations, and XForms when we give our presentation
at the November TC meeting in Singapore.
AGREED that these materials should go into the Support
Package as "Sample Implementation Guide from Denmark."
Note that scheduling of the Support Package is based on this
deliverable.
ACTION: JB to check with PB and MHB regarding status.
UBL Basic International Trade Scenario (BITS)
A basic framework will be produced in Singapore, developed
further in December, and delivered for publication in
January.
Output stylesheets
Note that "stylesheets" in the following includes both the
implementation-independent mapping of data items in a
particular schema and the actual instantiation of that
mapping in a stylesheet that will produce output according
to the UN Layout Key or its closest equivalent.
The basic problem here is the business mapping from UBL to
printed documents; unlike the UBL 1.0 set, many UBL 2.0
message types have no standard printed representations. It
appears that our best strategy is to concentrate on the ones
that do.
AGREED that for the first edition of the SP (targeting
delivery in January) we will update the existing stylesheets
for the eight documents in the original UBL 1.0 set, create
a stylesheet for Freight Invoice by adapting the stylesheet
for Invoice, and develop new output stylesheets for Waybill,
Certificate of Origin, Forwarding Instructions, and
Transportation Status. Business experts at CrimsonLogic
will be invited to help with work on the transport
documents.
UBL Model Letter of Agreement
JB to finish up for delivery in January.
EF and EA data models
TM will generate the EA data model (same as the one from
which the UBL 2.0 uml directory was generated). We assume
that SW will send the EF model from which the UBL 2.0
schemas were generated.
ACTION ITEM REVIEW
ACTION: JB to check with BAH for use statement.
Done.
ACTION: JB to check with OASIS regarding UBL 2.0 CS
announcements.
Done.
ACTION: TM to inform UN/CEFACT on approval of UBL 2.0 as an
OASIS Committee Specification.
Pending.
