    Subject: XPath files for latest UBL 1.0 CD distribution (CD2)


    Hello all!
    
    I've just confirmed that the XPath files posted earlier:
    
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200408/msg00077.html
    
    are unchanged for the latest release of UBL 1.0 announced this week:
    
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200409/msg00015.html
    
    So the following links from that earlier post represent valid XPath files 
    for UBL 1.0:
    
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/8760/UBL-XPath-HTML-1.0cd2.zip
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/8759/UBL-XPath-Text-1.0cd2.zip
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/8758/UBL-XPath-XML-1.0cd2.zip
    
    This also happens to be a confirmation that no content structure changes 
    were introduced into the schema files between the two periods of time.
    
    The namespace prefixes adopted for documentary purposes in these files can 
    now be interpreted as follows (note that there is no obligation to use 
    these prefixes in UBL documents):
    
    xmlns:cac="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-1.0"
    xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-1.0"
    xmlns:co="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:OrderChange-1.0"
    xmlns:da="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:DespatchAdvice-1.0"
    xmlns:in="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-1.0"
    xmlns:po="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Order-1.0"
    xmlns:ra="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:ReceiptAdvice-1.0"
    xmlns:ro="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:OrderResponse-1.0"
    xmlns:rs="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:OrderResponseSimple-1.0"
    xmlns:xo="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:OrderCancellation-1.0"
    
    These XPath 1.0 reports are based solely on XML 1.0 and are agnostic of any 
    XML-related technology for transformation or processing.
    
    Remember that these XPath files are enumerations of every possible element 
    and every possible attribute of all eight document types in UBL 1.0.  The 
    HTML and Text reports are useful documentation artifacts when succinctly 
    but unambiguously referencing elements and their attributes in a document 
    model.  It was with these files that FPSC/HISC was able to visually specify 
    the element/attribute content of layout forms in a prescriptive manner.
    
    The XML files are not useful as validated UBL examples because their forced 
    completeness could never be validated by the models.  However, many 
    XML-based technologies rely solely on well-formedness and not on validity, 
    such as XSLT 1.0, so these XML XPath files can actually be run through XSLT 
    1.0 stylesheets without error.  It was with these files that Crane 
    Softwrights Ltd. was able to confirm their XSLT 1.0 stylesheet library 
    accurately captured the prescribed fields in the appropriate boxes without 
    having to create or find validated source instances.
    
    Please direct any questions to HISC or, off-line, to myself.
    
    Thanks!
