UBL Code List Value Validation Methodology Version 0.7 Draft 2

  • 1.  UBL Code List Value Validation Methodology Version 0.7 Draft 2

    Posted 10-23-2006 14:38
    Fellow UBL TC'ers,
    
    Please find Version 0.7 Draft 2 of the proposed 
    UBL Code List Value Validation Methodology posted at:
    
       http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=20807
    
    In this version I have:
    
       (1) - updated the test scenario invocation files to be more general purpose
    
       (2) - addressed what I think are all of the suggestions in:
    
           http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-comment/200609/msg00001.html
    
           - this turned out to be very valuable feedback, as I have
             now updated the meta data checking to include the checking
             of identifier meta data, should a user of the methodology
             with UBL choose to apply the methodology to identifiers;
             before this change, the values would have been checked, but
             not the meta data, now both are checked appropriately
           - there is no accommodation, however, for algorithmic identifiers,
             and I've called that out in the documentation; there is now
             documented guidance on enumerated identifiers and accompanying
             meta data
           - section 3 is new, and updates were made on the now-numbered
             section 8 on meta data; section 3 now concludes that the code
             list methodology is applicable to any information item where
             trading partners may wish to enumerate values in a list
           - many thanks to Stephen for this useful input
    
    These changes do not affect defaultCodeList.xsl 
    as we have no enumerated identifiers in our deliverable package.
    
    One stylesheet fragment was changed, so users of 
    the methodology tools should update their 
    processing stylesheets, but there are no changes 
    needed to any user files that worked with version 
    0.7 draft 1, hence I've not changed the version number, only the draft number.
    
    I think this may be the candidate for 
    consideration in Singapore to forward as a 
    version 1.0 public review draft, but of course I 
    will continue to make any updates after 
    consideration of any suggestions from within or outside of the committee.
    
    I look forward to any more feedback on the documentation or the tools.
    
    Thanks!
    
    . . . . . . . . . Ken
