Business Document Naming and Design Rules (BDNDR) v1.1 from UBL TC approved as a Committee Specification

BDNDR v1.1 is ready for testing and implementation

OASIS is pleased to announce that Business Document Naming and Design Rules (BDNDR) Version 1.1 from the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) TC [1] has been approved as an OASIS Committee Specification.

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 Committee 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.

This Committee Specification is an OASIS deliverable, completed and approved by the TC and fully ready for testing and implementation.
