    ouch!  i dont think anyone in UBL has a desire for a different furrow - we just dont know what the proper one is.  

    as the UBL liaison to CEFACT, perhaps you can answer the questions i put to Mark.  How can we implement core components today, for UBL 1.0 (or even UBL 1.1)?  where is it we have not applied CCTS semantic naming rules correctly?

    my point to Mark is that this is not going anywhere if  no-one can say what UBL needs to do to "work together with TBG17 to agree, prove, implement and pass on to the CCTS development team the clarifications which are essential to ensure that we can build and use a common Core Component Library."  personally, i thought UBL had done (and was still doing) this - but obviously you don't agree.

    I am not sure what you mean by "'throw their candidate CCs over the wall' and then do not participate in the spirit and the work of the follow-up harmonisation" - isn't that what the overlapping members and liaisons between UBL and TBG17 should be doing? Has there been any formal feedback or follow up from TBG17 to UBL?  as far as i know the work done by TBG17 is still within the CEFACT environment for comment and has not been published to a wider audience*.  so i find to hard to know how we can "be taking the TBG17 clariifications and their draft library into very serious consideration for UBL. "

    Am i missing something here? Does anyone else have an opinion on this?  Sue's comment about "giving wider international standardisation a try" should really be to the whole TC and not me personally (i hope).  

    * I am aware of some of the TBG17 work through seeing an excellent  presentation by Hisano Sugamata when I was in China at an ebXML Asia meeting last month - but this was presented as very much a first draft and was said to be still being debated within TBG17.

    Hi Tim
     
    TBG17 is a collection of people exactly trying to 'do something about this' and their number include several past and/or present UBL library SC members who care passionately about working together, under the only truly international business users forum that we have, to try and solve this problem in a single, published unambiguous way. This will not be trivial and it will not be easy.
     
    I humbly suggest that, in order to maximise all our world wide efforts to achieve the holy grail of improved semantic interoperability, we work together with TBG17 to agree, prove, implement and pass on to the CCTS development team the clarifications which are essential to ensure that we can build and use a common Core Component Library.
     
    This TBG17 work is progressing well with a number of useful clarifications already available togethre with a draft library which is certainly proving its worth with several user communities with which I am either working or familiar.
     
    How about UBL giving wider international standardisation a try, Tim? TBG17 cannot succeed while submitters simply finish their work, 'throw their candidate CCs over the wall' and then do not participate in the spirit and the work of the follow-up harmonisation. IMHO we should now be taking the TBG17 clariifications and their draft library into very serious consideration for UBL. BTW I do not believe that UBL will be able to achieve its potential impact if it continues to plough a separate CCTS furrow.
     
    regards
