OASIS Members and other interested parties,
OASIS is pleased to announce that Universal Business Language Version 2.2
from the OASIS Universal Business Language TC [1] has been approved as an
OASIS Committee Specification.
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.
This Committee Specification is an OASIS deliverable, completed and
approved by the TC and fully ready for testing and implementation.
The prose specifications and related files are available here:
