Invitation to comment on Universal Business Language V2.2 from the #UBL TC – ends Dec. 7th

OASIS is pleased to announce that Universal Business Language Version 2.2 from the OASIS Universal Business Language TC [1] is now available for public review and comment.

The Universal Business Language (UBL) is an open library of standard electronic XML business documents for procurement and transportation such as purchase orders, invoices, transport logistics and waybills.

Version 2.2 is completely backward-compatible with UBL 2.0. This second release of V2.2 has been updated based on feedback from the previous public review. The comments received in that review and their resolution can be found at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/csprd01-UBL-2.2/csprd01-UBL-2.2-comment-resolution-log.ods. UBL 2.2 updates are also described in the specification at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/csprd02-UBL-2.2/UBL-2.2.html#S-MINOR-REVISION-UBL-2.2
