Subject: Re: [ubl] [GC] Additional metadata
Greetings Likewise I would like to see some kind of metadata in the UOM (units of measure) codelist that will help make it more relevant to business (as distinct from the apparent scientific purpose of most codes eg light year). I'm not sure what sort of metadata would help but codes like 'each' tend to be the only useful ones in many cases of trade and transport and a definition to help their use might justify inclusion of this codelist which seems to be a legacy from EDI. To be frank though, the codelist would better be replaced altogether in my honest opinion and lowers the value of the ATG datatypes. It rather hinders the use of the essentially core BIEs based on the Quantity datatypes (like BasePrice which is essential to pricings which are likewise essential to core business documents like Order and Invoice). Perhaps some kind of best practice guide is the preferred way to help implementers above and beyond metadata (since I've recollection this codelist is unavoidable in view of the importance of alignment with ATG datatypes and other standards which maybe use them). -- Stephen Green Partner SystML, http://www.systml.co.uk Tel: +44 (0) 117 9541606 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+22:37 .. and voice Quoting JAVEST <roberto@javest.com>: > Dear all, > about the update package I think it could be useful to have the > currency codelist improved with an additional metadata for currency > symbols. > > Currency symbols can be expressed into Unicode, please find below the > "currency symbols" from Unicode 5.0 standard: > > http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U20A0.pdf > > Regards, > > Roberto Cisternino >> >> UPDATE PACKAGE: GC FILE FORMAT >> >> Please note this from the last Pacific call minutes: >> >> Can other members of the UBL TC identify code list files >> that would be improved by additional metadata? > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that > generates this mail.
