    UBL 2.4

     

    Review of UBL 2.4 submission to ISO closed on 14 September 2024. The TC has received no comments and is awaiting feedback from OASIS.

     

    UBL 2.5

     

    The TC has approved a UBL Deprecation Policy version 1.0 available here:

    -   https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=71497&wg_abbrev=ubl (PDF)

    -   https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=71496&wg_abbrev=ubl (ODT)

     

    Publishing tools

     

    Master spreadsheets for UBL 2.5 are available here:

    -   Library elements: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18o1YqjHWUw0-s8mb3ja4i99obOUhs-4zpgso6RZrGaY/

    -   Document elements: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1024Th-Uj8cqliNEJc-3pDOR7DxAAW7gCG4e-pbtarsg/

     

    Shall we generate and publish XSDs without deprecated elements as part of UBL 2.5 to assist validating if UBL implementations are using solely non-deprecated elements? Does this belong in a Committee Note? Kees has opened a ticket: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-385.

     

    Semantic library review

     

    Documents are being reviewed by their corresponding subcommittees as listed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f0yyWMLK9wAWEjEKgsoXT7eov9h5bx6qxROBZP_qu7M/edit?gid=0#gid=0

     

    Supplementary components were reviewed during the Budapest face-to-face meeting. The result of the review can be inspected here: https://wv2agsty.nocodb.com/#/nc/kanban/bd3026b2-8250-46b5-ae42-c3272e5060b2

     

    Work is being tracked here: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/UBL-383

     

    JIRA tickets:

     

    List of UBL 2.5 JIRA tickets: https://issues.oasis-open.org/issues/?filter=16270

     

    Specification review

     

    Divide specification into multiple parts. Aim is to create a multipart specification.

     

    The specification references several UBL work products, including NDRs and customization guidelines. Should we incorporate these into the multipart compendium? Kenneth is working on a proposal.

     

    JSON syntax binding

     

    At the Budapest face-to-face meeting, we agreed that deprecating the UBL data type attributes will simplify JSON implementations for developers. This change makes complex JSON data types simple enough to be implementable, for example:

     

    {

      "ID": {

        "value": "1234567890123",

        "schemeID": "GLN"

      }

    }

     

    Erlend is currently working on a first draft for a JSON specification.

    TC Liaisons

     

    CEN TCs 434 and 440

     

    The CEN TCs 434 and 440 are responsible for the standardization of e-invoicing and public procurement in Europe, respectively.

     

    Agreed at the Copenhagen face-to-face meeting that the UBL TC is open to establish a formal liaison with CEN TC 434 to create a European or international standard for electronic invoicing, if there is an interest from the CEN TC.

     

    OASIS has reported that there is an agreement on a way forward. The TC has agreed to appoint Wim Kok liaison officer to the CEN TC 434, and Peter Borresen as liaison officer to the CEN TC 440, as recorded here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202301/msg00017.html. The appointments have been communicated to OASIS.

     

    ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32/WG 1

     

    Working Group 1 of SC 32 is the eBusiness working group of the ISO data management and interchange subcommittee. Of specific interest to UBL, WG1 focuses on e-invoicing standardization.

     

    Decision to appoint Andrea as liaison representative between ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32 and the TC recorded here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202007/msg00014.html

     

    OASIS has been in contact with the SC 32 secretariat. SC 32 has provided an application form to apply as CAT A Liaison. Currently waiting on OASIS to return the form.

     

    ISO TC 323 (WG5)

     

    TC 323 is the Circular Economy technical committee of ISO, which develops the Product Circularity Data Sheet (PCDS) within Working Group 5.

     

    Decision to appoint Andrea as liaison representative between ISO TC 323 (WG5) and the TC recorded here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/202402/msg00004.html. Awaiting feedback from OASIS.

     

    ISO TC 207

     

    TC 207 is the ISO committee on environmental management. The ISO 14000 series, in particular, is relevant to UBL and our efforts to support emerging ESG requirements in supply chain data exchange.

     

    TC decision to initiate a formal liaison between the OASIS UBL TC and the ISO TC 207. Michael Coletta appointed as Liaison Officer but is no longer available. Agreed to find a replacement liaison officer.
