STANDING ITEMS

   Additions to the calendar:
      http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm

      AS: Will get dates for TBG3 meeting in July.

   Liaison reports

      TM: The CEN/ISSS workshop on public eprocurement appears to
      have gone well.  UBL will form the basis for the
      specifications to be developed by the project.

   Subcommittee report: PSC

      TM: The PSC has been focused on the convergence with TBG1.
      Mark Leitch and Martin Forsberg have joined TBG1 to advance
      this work.  The next TBG1 interim meeting will take place
      5-8 June in Brussels.  TBG1 is now responsible for the
      procurment parts of UNeDocs.

   Subcommittee report: TSC

      AS: Met last week.  The major topic was a debrief on the
      transportation breakout session at the TC meeting in
      Manhattan.  That session was very positive, and it was
      agreed that the Danish representatives would join the 7 June
      TSC meeting if approved by the Danish standards organization
      with which they are associated.

   Review of Atlantic call

      No comments.

   Support page submissions

      None this week.

FIRST ITALIAN AND SPANISH SPREADSHEET REVIEW

   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/24052/ubl20prd10es.zip
   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/24053/ubl20prd10it.zip

   AGREED to start the public review process.

   GKH: We can capture all this in a genericode file.

   JB: And I would be happy to call this the Dictionary per se.

DISPOSITION OF CODE LIST METHODOLOGY WORK

   Should we transfer the code list methodology to the OASIS Code
   List Representation TC?

   GKH: The UBL label misleads some users into thinking that the
   methodology is slanted toward UBL.

   TM: It should be something like "Schematron-based code list
   methodology."

   GKH: We would continue to use UBL as the exemplar.  In
   practice, the transition would simply mean changing the title
   and the introductory section of the paper.  The namespaces
   would have to change, but that's not a problem if we make the
   transition before issuing the first of the code list snapshotes
   we discussed at the meeting in Manhattan.

   JB: This was the reasoning behind the transfer of genericode to
   a separate TC.

   TM: Viz., that it can be used with more than UBL.  We should
   have a guideline that we encourage the adoption of the CL
   methodology.

   JB: Are both TCs operating under the same IPR mode?

   GKH: Yes.

   AGREED to transfer the CL methodology to the Code List
   Representation TC (pending review in this week's Atlantic
   call).

UBL TC MEETING IN EUROPE 24-28 SEPTEMBER 2007

   TM: Nothing new; will check again on colocation with the
   UN/CEFACT Forum meeting if no answer to a previous inquiry is
   received this week.

OTHER ACTION ITEMS

   ACTION: TM to finish editing the Danish implementation
   guidelines.

      Done.

      NEW ACTION: JB to get a pointer from PB when the guidelines
      are published.

   ACTION: JB to change the URL for the XPath files to a new
   URL provided in the email noted above.

      Done.

   ACTION: JB to change the URL for the UBL Code List and Value
   Validation Methodology from 22591 to 23703.

      Done.
