Subject: Draft charter for the Small Business Sub-Committee (SBSC)
G.Ken Holman and Stephen Green are pleased to submit the following
as a draft charter for the UBL Small Business SubCommittee.
This is for submission to the coming Atlantic Call according to the
Action item from the recent Face2Face meeting in Washington:
SBSC Draft Charter (Date: Feb 2005):
1. To liaise with small business industry and organizations responsible for
e-commerce systems on smaller scales than those requiring the full scope of
UBL features and functionality.
2. To rapidly develop, document and maintain formal subsets of published
UBL deliverables as a limited scope of UBL features and functionality.
3. To foster implementations of these subsets through coordination,
guidance and responsiveness to queries, in order to test the viability of
such UBL limitations in real-world scenarios.
Possible deliverables:
1. Small business subset guidelines
- principles of the development and selection of UBL facilities for a small
business subset
- principles of the adaptations of human interface presentations (output
and input) of such a subset
- catalogue of known implementations of such a subset
2. Machine-processable expressions of such a subset
3. User documentation of such as subset
Scope of work:
This committee work is not undertaking to change any definition of UBL
semantics or grammatical constraints expressed in the normative UBL W3C
Schemas.
Through analysis of real-world requirements for an identifiable community
of candidate users of UBL, this committee will document in both human- and
machine-readable fashions a subset of UBL components decided to be of use
in the transactions characterized by such users.
At no time will instances conforming to such a subset of UBL ever not
conform to the complete version of UBL from which the subset is derived.
Manner and schedule of work:
The work of the subcommittee will be primarily through a mail list set up
on OASIS for subcommittee work. Access by the public will be through an
openly available mail list archive.
A library of intermediate work materials (links, files, meeting minutes,
examples, etc.) will be maintained through the subcommittee web site and
will be open for public access.
The pace of development will attempt to keep up with the release of new
document models from other UBL subcommittees and with the responsiveness of
the user community regarding feedback the subcommittee may receive.
A work plan will be developed and published by (TBD) May 1, 2005 after
which it will be reviewed periodically in light of developments and progress.
Teleconferences will be scheduled on a regular basis (perhaps as often as
every week or two) utilizing the standard teleconference line.
Technical liaison:
Liaison with the other UBL subcommittees will be critically important to
the understanding of the candidacy of the information being analyzed to be
included in a small business subset.
Liaison with candidate users in industry will help to direct and inform the
committee on real-world requirements.
Input from and dialogue with other organizations identified through the UBL TC will be valuable.
Many thanks.
Stephen Green
