Invitation to comment on Business Document Naming and Design Rules (BDNDR) v1.1 from the UBL TC

New rules for JSON syntax - review ends October 22nd

We are pleased to announce that Business Document Naming and Design Rules (BDNDR) Version 1.1 from the UBL TC [1] is now available for public review and comment. This is the third public review for BDNDR v1.1.

Overview

An important and powerful method to design interoperable business documents is to construct logical semantic models using concepts described in the UN/CEFACT Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) Version 2.01. From these semantic models one can create physical syntax models with which to express the content constraints of actual business documents to be interchanged.

The OASIS Business Document Naming and Design Rules (BDNDR) Version 1.1 Draft Specification prescribes a set of naming and design rules used to create complete CCTS models of interoperable business documents. It also includes the rules needed to create validation artefacts corresponding to them. For XML syntax, the rules govern creating W3C Schema (XSD) and OASIS Context/value Association (CVA) validation artefacts. For JSON syntax, the rules govern creating JSON Schema validation artefacts.

BDNDR Version 1.1 changes no rules for XML syntax from BDNDR Version 1.0 and only adds the new rules prescribed for JSON syntax.

All comments submitted to OASIS are subject to the OASIS Feedback License, which ensures that the feedback you provide carries the same obligations at least as the obligations of the TC members. In connection with the public review of this work, we call your attention to the OASIS IPR Policy [4] applicable especially [5] to the work of this technical committee. All members of the TC should be familiar with this document, which may create obligations regarding the disclosure and availability of a member’s patent, copyright, trademark and license rights that read on an approved OASIS specification.

OASIS invites any persons who know of any such claims to disclose these if they may be essential to the implementation of the above specification, so that notice of them may be posted to the notice page for this TC’s work.
