#UBL TC publishes Business Document Naming and Design Rules Version 1.0
OASIS is pleased to announce the approval and publication of a new Committee Specification by the members of the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) TC:
Business Document Naming and Design Rules Version 1.0
Committee Specification 01
14 July 2016
What is the Business Document Naming and Design Rules specification and why is it important?
Business Document Naming and Design Rules Version 1.0 prescribes a set of naming and design rules used to create XML document model validation artefacts (W3C Schema XSD files and OASIS Context/value association files) associated with abstract information bundles formally described using the Core Component Technical Specification 2.01.
This is a final deliverable. Completed and approved by the TC, this OASIS Committee Specification is fully ready for implementation. If submitted for further ratification as an OASIS Standard, its content will not change.
About the TC:
The OASIS Universal Business Language technical committee is defining a royalty-free library of standard electronic XML business documents for various domains. Development is with participation from a variety of industry data standards organizations. UBL is designed to plug directly into existing business, legal, auditing, and records management practices, eliminating the re-keying of data in existing fax- and paper-based supply chains and providing an entry point into electronic commerce for small and medium-sized businesses.
