Subject: Minutes of Pacific UBL TC call 18|19 June 2007
MINUTES OF PACIFIC UBL TC MEETING TUESDAY 19 JUNE 2007 ATTENDANCE Jon Bosak (chair) G. Ken Holman Andy Schoka STANDING ITEMS Additions to the calendar: http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/calendar.htm AS: TBG3 is 2-6 July, not 9-13; will attend. GKH: 8-11 December SC34 in Kyoto; will attend. Liaison reports None. Subcommittee report: PSC TM not present. Subcommittee report: TSC AS: TSC met briefly this morning and reviewed TM's work with Kama and Flemming; created a list of comments that Kama will document and forward in the TSC minutes. Review of Atlantic call No comments. Support page submissions None this week. CONFIDENTIAL REQUIREMENTS From Stephen Green: In a matter reminiscent of the 'uncertainty principle', is there a way to make a submission of a requirement without necessarily making public the details of the background to the requirement? In a 'hypothetical' use case which is valid but not well known. It might be that there is, hypothetically, a desire to keep details of the use of a document from being public. Is the very nature of UBL as an open standard such that this cannot be done as an official submission of a requirement without making the details public? Hypothetically of course :-) AGREED (following review of input from Tony Coates) that we should not accept requirements lacking public justification. JB: Note (though it doesn't apply directly here) that the OASIS IPR policy explicitly prohibits confidential work items. UBL TC MEETING IN STOCKHOLM 24-28 SEPTEMBER 2007 GKH: Will attend. ACTION: TM to check whether there are national body obligations and possibly a requirement to clear attendance at the UN/CEFACT Forum meeting with heads of delegation. ACTION: JB to begin building an agenda for the (relatively brief) UBL TC plenary time in Stockholm, starting with the issue of calculation models (GKH to explain this at the meeting). ACTION ITEMS FROM MANHATTAN ACTION: JB to check with Chin Chee-Kai regarding availability of a UBL 2.0 version of UBLish. Done; Chee-Kai reports that he's beginning work on this. ACTION: GKH to write up the "Candidate Decision Regarding Code List Support" as amended 10 May 2007 (see minutes referenced above). GKH: Will do, but delayed this week. ACTION: PSC and TSC to provide feedback on UBL 2.0 SBS 2.0: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/23873 No news from PSC. ACTION: AS to bring this up in the next TSC meeting. ACTION: PSC and TSC to summarize business rules that are (1) wanted in UBL but not allowed by [i.e., capable of being addressed by] the NDR (e.g., requirement to include one of PartyName and PartyIdentifier but not both) and (2) data items whose constraints are inherited from another standard (e.g., lengths of data items specified by UNTDED); the rules so identified to become candidates for a list of schematron assertions "recommended to be included" (final characterization TBD). No news from PSC. It was observed that this is an openended task. ACTION: AS to bring this up in the next TSC meeting. ACTION: JB to minute the one nonsubstantive spreadsheet error found so far (the entry for BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA in CountryIdentificationCode-2.0.gc is broken) and send a message to this effect to ubl-dev. GKH: The BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA item is a code list error, not a spreadsheet error. AS: The Locode file is missing a subdivision column, resulting in (for example) multiple locations named "Columbus" with no way to disambiguate them. Summary of the tasks to be done under this heading: - BOSNIA error: Note publicly and also include in code list revision. - Waybill spreadsheet: cell A4 has the UBLName "false"; this should be the word "CustomizationID". Disposition: probably a candidate for "approved erratum" (nonsubstantive, because this is done correctly in the schema). - Code lists to update in the code list revision: Locode, rec20 (Units of Measure), rec24 (Transport Status). ACTION: MG to investigate the impact of GKH's proposed namespace-based versioning mechanism on the NDR. AGREED that if no critical problems are found in this investigation, we will adopt GKH's proposal for namespace-based versioning, as contained in http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23654 Continuing to track this. OTHER BUSINESS GKH: This week's agenda illustrates a right and a wrong way to reference items in the repository. Example of wrong way: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/23873 This is wrong because it points directly to a specific draft, which may in the future be obsolete. Example of right way: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=23654 This is to be preferred because it points to the metadata page, thus making clear the revision history and providing a link to the latest version.
