Universal Business Language (#UBL) v2.2 OASIS Standard published

OASIS is pleased to announce the publication of its newest OASIS Standard, approved by the members on 09 July 2018:

Universal Business Language Version 2.2
OASIS Standard
09 July 2018

Overview:

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. It is designed to operate within a standard business framework such as ISO/IEC 15000 (ebXML) to provide a complete, standards-based infrastructure that can extend the benefits of existing EDI systems to businesses of all sizes.

Version 2.2 is completely backward-compatible with UBL 2.0. UBL is freely available to everyone without legal encumbrance or licensing fees.

To find out more about what UBL v2.2 is and why it might matter to you, see https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl#overview.
